I find myself being asked over and over again to share my photos with strangers. I have no interest in sharing my photos, for they are mine.

What should I say when I don't want to share, without seeming rude?

just say you will do it, but never happen

"They are a work in progress that I am developing as part of portfolio series. I'm a perfectionist and I'm not ready to share any images until I have the whole portfolio completed".


...But seriously, stop being such an autist and share a couple of snaps. They will probably be so average that no one will much more than glance at them anyway.

Stop being such a fucking pussy and just say no. Tell them something like "I'm sorry, but this is part of my work and I can't share them with you". It's really not that fucking hard.

If you mean random people on the street asking to see some of your photos, just show them a few, have a bit of chit chat, then say you have to get back to it.
If you mean people you took photos of, you legally have to show them. Doesn't matter if you're in a public place; if someone asks something regarding a photo they're in, you have to comply.

What law is this?

What country are you in?

Can you eleborate? Like people going up to you in the streets? Where do you live?

I've never seen or heard that in the US - wouldn't surprise me if they were trying to steal your camera or something. Maybe showing off the LCD makes the tension around the strap just enough for someone to come by and cut it and grab it.

More than likely in Germany or UK

Just ask for an email address, no you don't have a pen and paper. Then throw them away first chance you get. Or send a few and see what happens.

who the fuck is asking you to see pictures?

if you're photographing people and they inquire, then you really should show them.

inb4 photography is not art

This is not much different than someone asking a person with an instrument to play them a song, or a painter to show them a painting. If you don't want to, say no. Doesn't matter what the reason is, you're not obligated to.

Don't have to do it in the UK. He's probably a mainland Eurocuck.

>did you just take a photo of me
>no
>let me see
>sure
>flip body over
>solid black door
>well go on then, turn the screen on
Some people are too paranoid to walk on the streets. Your average person is also too stupid to know the difference between a tele and a wide lens. They just see a "big camera"

UK's photo laws are pretty relaxed. Hope you weren't trying to /pol/ this shit up buddy.
