This happens, sometimes

Technique when it comes to street photography is different from all the rest. And then everyone has their own.

To dissimulate.

Do you remember that Garry Winogrand shot and then seemed to be fumbling with the camera as if it had fallen from the sky?

Sometimes it can help you avoid problems, sometimes it may be that taking a photo later can lead you to other photos. The street photographer's technique requires promptness but also the ability to react to possible disputes. Now that the pandemic is involved, getting closer to people can also become more problematic.

Each method is valid for taking home the shot you want.

Only the result matters.
