Street Fotography is an art form with the due reliance on chance and unexpected encounters. As a hobbyist, I have little time to interact with people or talk to anyone while photographing. Smalltalking isn't a real conversation starter in my eyes. It is my instinctual decision to pursue photojournalism and street photography works with a deliberate rebellious streak with the traditional photography discipline in the local Puget Sound scenes.
My brain and heart has given me a calling to document the gritty environment and make a statement, that challenges the cookie-cutter society. Despite not ignoring the polished and cookie-cutter opinions, I put them aside as they do not reflect me. My early days in fotograffy were more characterised by conventional and cookie-cutter approaches, until I really feel like I met the love of my life!
I generally do not form client or people relationships during my photowalk around blocks of cities. Why is that? This is because I aimed for a raw and unpolished. The imperfect and the candid. Ditto much for the affluent and impoverished. When I orally sought consent, people tended to alter their behaviors and movements and tend to put on a façade where it can risk not being themselves.
The decision to Copywrite people that I abstain from printing consent and release forms starts with a slight mindful conviction from people around me. Seeking consent with printed non-disclosure agreement (NDA) forms is not in my creative agency. If non-government organization working for the vulnerable "sensitive" population, have enquiries about consent and general respect. I can authenticate with their made NDA forms. NGOs who work with people with disabilities and ghosting me does imply a disrespect to the artist's craft.
NDA forms are made from organizations, institutions, and . Based on my profession, I do not provide media release and consent forms.
