TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY IS JUST STREET PHOTOGRAPHY SOMEWHERE ELSE

Does street photography become something else when you are visiting another country? Maybe or maybe not. For me, most of the skills and approach are the same, however, making pictures in another culture increases the chance you may be stepping on some else's toes. Being unaware of the invisible boundaries in another culture can lead to conflict when using a camera - do some research before whipping out a camera....and be respectful as a matter of course.

In Salvador de Bahia, Brasil, where this photo was made, people were ok with being photographed. With street photography it's always better to be aware of your surroundings, no matter where you are.
