“you can’t just take pictures like that without warning me, I was fully in my freestyle mode and now you interrupted me!”
I see your point both ways. I've run into the same issues with some of my friends who dance. I feel like I am capturing something amazing, but they see it as a distraction.
In general I think it's pretty rude to take photographs without someone's permission for the very quote you laid out above, but the tradeoff would be that you would not have that awesome picture.
I wonder what celebrities think and if they eventually just get used to the camera and can tune it out or if it is a constant annoyance to them. I think anyone should have the right to not allow photography in certain places at a certain distance.
Paparazzi are somewhat of a strange thing. Why do we need 1,000 photos of someone walking on a carpet? It seems like an extreme invasion of privacy that I am glad I do not have to deal with.
I guess I'd probably try to be pretty cool with the people taking photos, because while it may be annoying, they are trying to do the best at their job and being a jerk just makes your life and theirs less enjoyable.
I can't imagine a life with paparazzi everyday, of course we see celebrities getting annoyed and attacking them. too much of anything isn't good.
Obviously it's a very extreme example, I think in general everyone appreciates nice pictures of themselves.
I think so too, but often a simple asking of permission can completely change how you view someones actions. You're much more famous than I though. The only time I wind up having my photograph taken is when I walk behind someone taking a selfie haha.
