A model release is really only necessary if the image is to be used for advertising. A publication, for editorial use, may want a release, but that would to be on the safe side. To exhibit a print, that had recognizable people in it, wouldn't need a release in this (USA) country. BR Ann Sanfed

I'm very fond of the graffiti shot. There's a lot going on there, and everyone is oblivious to the camera. I think that I like this kind of photography more than the reactive shots. Once the subject ackowledges you, it becomes a portrait. For better or worse. But quite frequently, for worse. Paul

I don't think there's a right or wrong here. Some shots you have to shoot without asking, because you'll simply miss the moment (see my shot this month in PUG - not that it's a great shot, but I would have never gotten the shot if I'd have asked everyone if I could take the pic): http://pug.komko

I guess it works both ways. I love the reaction you got from the chess player. And I've sometimes gotten a good reaction when I've alerted the subject. Generally, though, I'd still prefer to go stealth much of the time. In regard to Leicas and noise, it seems that the CLA has a lot to do with h

Hi, Paul, As I already commented, I love that shot! You're right about the Leica - my CL (which is apparently one of the loudest Leica RF's) is pretty quiet. But, my two Yashicas, both with iris shutters (a Mat and an Electro 35) are almost silent compared to the CL. I wonder if the whole noise

A lot of "street photographers" seem to work this way. There were a lot of rangefinder 35mm cameras made with iris shutters and 35mm focal length that are small and very quiet. I own an Olympus XA that would fit this bill. Has markings for hyperfocal settings, and can't be heard at all unless the
