There is no need to look into the lens - such glances mostly ruin the shot.

No need to look into the lens—that kind of look usually ruins the shot.
M Y X O M O P, maybe so. I've often had the imaginary shot turn out not quite how I wanted, but more or less random—interesting.

I agree with you, in my opinion you're thinking in the right direction, good luck

By the way, streetwalkers consider it a disgrace if he looks at you and sees you.

By the way, street performers consider it embarrassing if someone looks at you and sees you.]
Nadezhda Pavlyuchkova, that's also a bit of a generalization. Some say it's embarrassing, others say it "creates tension and engages the viewer." It seems like with everything else: if you break a rule, you have to understand why you're breaking it (traffic rules don't count )

Dzianis P, but sometimes it happens, they see you, and the picture turns out good.

Dzianis P, Can I chime in? Yes, yes? Rules are certainly meant to be broken (at least in photography). But still, if you're clearly caught on the street, that's bad. Here's an example of my photo:

It's clearly evident that if I hadn't been noticed, the photo, as V. Ermolaev says, would have been taken.

Suvlehim Takats, yes, in this case, the randomness is ruined, and it seems like everyone in the photo is posing

Sulvlehim Takac, yes, in this case, the randomness is destroyed and it seems like everyone in the photo is posing.
Dzianis P, Yes, indeed. And here's Garry Winogrand:
and

in the second one, he was clearly noticed, but it didn't harm the photo.

Suvlehim Takac, your first shot also reminded me of Winogrand's.

Of course, nothing is clear. Sometimes it's possible, sometimes it's not, and whether the shot falls apart will depend entirely on chance.

You know, like with the lieutenant: you can get hit head-on, or you can take a good photo. It's not about posing, although that's all there is to it with AKB, but about that certain moment... What they showed you, all those melons and grapes, is so-so. You have to remember that all of this was taken during the formation of a new language of photography, a means of conveying a new message, how can I explain it to you... Look at the photo "Good Grandfather" in my portfolio. And there are others. It's about openness. It's not about a thievish, underhanded delivery, as D. Markov talked about. It's about the attitude towards the frame. It might be confusing, and if anything, this is just my opinion, my thoughts.

Edu, I also thought that all the classics, after all, were active in a different time, when photography meant something a little different in the world, and people on the streets also reacted to it differently.

I looked at the photo. I probably understand what you're talking about when you talk about the attitude towards the frame: the mood of the person with the camera influences the observed reality.
