 | Hi, I'm just wondering... if I want to take a picture of a person, should I ask the permission first? Also do I have to ask for the permission to take a picture of eg a street stall without any people on it? And is it expected that if I do take a picture I should give some money or gift to them? Any rules according to that at all? Any people that i shouldn't take pictures of maybe? Thanks for advise |

| If you want to take a pic of a person,you'd better aske for the permission,I think! If they agree with it,you don't need give some money or gift to them,they are very kindly. You can't take the army pics! |

| I managed one, perhaps I got away with it because I took it from distance. |

| Street scenes with people are fine but if you want to get close ups, be polite and ask. You may even be a target for some Nationals who have never seen foreigners and they are not always polite about putting the camera in your face, but most will ask you if you would get in their happy holiday snaps with them, a complete stranger. Stranger things have happened. |

| In China there are no issues with taking street photos. In some of the remote parts, the ethnic tribes may not like it but your job is to win their hearts first, and that's a challenge. It's not like in the Middle East where taking photos of women is strictly prohibited and u may get beaten up. |
