I myself now have new hobby, taking photograph. I take picture of anything that look beautiful or unique. But actually I want to make photo compilation with title "People". It's about ordinary people in daily activities, such as street vendor, parking attendant, pedicab driver, etc. I want to tell stories about the life through my photos.
Is not difficult to find the right moment to be pictured by photo. But to be honest, everytime I would take picture I always felt hesitate. I was afraid the object (people) would feel annoyed if they knew I took their picture. Few times I tried to take picture secretly. But beside the photos are not good since these taken from bad angle, I also feel I have done something inappropriate. That's why these photos still haven't published in web.
Yeah, I could feel uncomfortable if I found a photo that taken by stranger which I become the main object without my consent. Although I do not mind if I just accidentally framed, or if I was in 'performance' like when I was in sport competition or in public speaking.
I quite like photography too, altho these days I prefer to take photos of old ruins or quiet abandoned gardens or fields, where people don't usually go lol.
I just found it uncomfortable as it seemed I was captured right in that shot (there wasn't anyone else around). I wouldn't mind as long as my face isn't caught on camera and I'm not the *only* focus in that photograph.
Altho if I really mind I could just wear niqab, :D.
I'll also be waiting for your photographs to be published one day where I can see them, I'm sure they'd be wonderful inshaAllah.
