Too Shy For Street Photography? Say This.

The first time someone stopped me on the street and asked if I'd just taken their photo, my mind went blank. I had no idea what to say. So I worked out five things you can actually say when confronted, ranked from the one I recommend most down to a last-resort line that still gets you out while keeping the photo. None of them involve lecturing anyone about your rights or getting into an argument. If you're a shy or introverted street photographer who freezes at the thought of being noticed, this is the calm, honest way through a street photography confrontation.
