Below, you can read the photographer Dominic Seberna ‘s opinion on the customs that should be followed when taking pictures of people in public places and tips for amateurs who hope to take great photos.

According to Dominic, no set of rules or customs can be applied in all situations to photography in public places.

“Dominic says:

I learned in college that legally if someone is in a public place, they can be part of your photography. However, the correct behavior is that if you want to make identity the focal point of your image, get permission first. For example, a portrait of an unidentified person is different from a photograph of another unnamed person passing by a building. It is an essential issue that veteran and amateur photographers should consider when shooting on the subway.

In this regard, Dominic stressed the importance of timing. He says:

Choosing the right image is especially important when capturing a particular moment or action. Sometimes it can be challenging to decide which photo to display when you have several great images. The best thing to choose an image that best conveys the concept you want and what you have in mind.

We have to consider what message we will send. It all comes down to your preference and intention. The first photo can be more effective, and the second can convey a completely different message.

His advice to amateur photographers is to be brave and honest and see what they can find. “Dominic says:

Just go out and look around. Pay attention to small details. If you are in the right mood, the minor details in your daily life may seem prominent to you on any particular day.

Dominic adds:

We also need to learn sometimes to relax and enjoy life instead of worrying about missing out on great photography moments. It is good to sit down sometimes, put down the camera and enjoy life, But be prepared. It’s up to you to decide, but keep in mind that you will not always win. Sometimes we win, and sometimes we lose; we learn to enjoy wins more and not be sad about losses.

Some time ago, Rick McGuire, the founder of the “Metro Creatures” project on Instagram, shared his thoughts on why it is so strange to be in the subway.

According to him, subway passengers are forced to enter a limited space and have no choice but to collide with each other. It means that everyone is in the vicinity of a small world of society, one of the most exciting and bizarre parts.

Rick says:

The New York subway is still one of the most efficient ways to get around. Sometimes you can see the best and worst possible conditions in this subway. If you need an audience for your work, this is the best place to find them.

He explained that all the wild, bizarre, and insane things he saw on the New York City subway inspired him to form the Subway Creatures project to document everything he saw.

Rick continues:

“Keep your head up” is New York’s unspoken and unwritten law, But I am a great observer of the people. When I’m on the train, I always look for vague things and look around. You never know what you will see. There are always many things around you in New York, some of which I would be ashamed of losing to someone in my spirit and my job.

“Getting on the subway,” says Rita Friedman, a career coach.

Sometimes you need to rest to escape your hectic life. Getting on one of the subway trains can be more accessible while making you feel better!

According to this coach, commuting transfers space and time that many travelers use as a break between home, work, or school responsibilities. It’s great to spend time away from responsibilities. Avoiding everyday worries and pressures while traveling can be therapeutic and help manage stress.

While traveling by subway, we may browse social media or listen to a podcast for half an hour.

According to Rita, some of the best ideas came to her when she stared out the window or at a wall. If you have a tough job, it may be much easier to do some of your work on the go, away from the distractions of the office or a talkative colleague who is not silent for a moment.

If you feel like it, you can use your commute to do personal things like reply to emails you may have missed or manage your calendar. In short, commuting can be your morning routine for arranging the things you need to tidy up to start a productive day safely.

If you spend your commute doing something like reading or playing a strategy game, your brain will warm up and clear so that you may be more productive at work or school. And if you are walking, driving, or cycling, choosing a different route can help change the situation and destroy the uniformity of the course.

If your destination is long, you can probably force yourself to do something like study or do something that requires concentration. Shorter routes can also be an excellent opportunity to watch a five-minute tutorial on a topic that interests you or is entirely new to you.
