Problem with street shot
I was in my local town with my camera and saw some guy playing pan pipes. He had a stall in front of him with peru flags, cds he was selling and it was decorated to stand out. He was a performer so you'd imagine he wanted people to stop, listen to him and look at him. He threw a right fit at me for photographing him, demanded I stop, said he had not given me permission to photograph. I said I did not need his permission and surely as a performer with a colourful display what did he expect? Some passerby then got involved went on about even if it was legal I was disrespecting this guy by photographing.
So... what would anyone else have done? Kept on photographing or just walked away?
I just left because I couldnt do with the hassle but should I have stood my ground?
How do you deal with this kind of situation?
