I actually do and that’s why I’m a bad street photographer hahaha. Nowadays I do try to ask for the quickest consent by waiting before I click the shutter and making sure the subject sees me (and maybe making hand gestures like pointing at the camera and then doing a thumbs up)—some will see and go on their day, some will pose, and some will protest, at which point I stop and apologise. I know by doing this I lose the “spontaneity” of street photography that street photographers love so much. I also have friends who are more of “shoot first and ask for consent later”. Otherwise most street photographers I know personally or read about do seem to feel like they can take strangers’ photos with no qualms.
