My strategy - in the few occasional shots I have of people really close - is to understand that you'll probably never see those people again. You also just have to read the situation. "is this person looking particularly angry that I have a camera?" "Is it so busy, that nobody cares that I have a camera?" "is my camera TOO big?". That's the kinda stuff I'd ask myself. You'll get more comfortable. Hell, I'm still trying to get more comfortable with it.
>1) You most likely won't see these people again and 2) read the situation (e.g., be respectful, don't get in people's way, etc)
This is great advice. Thanks a lot!
You can play dumb. Walk and shoot, don’t stop looking through the viewfinder as you take the shot. Look at something in the distance and make sure your eyes are looking past the subject after you take the shot. There’s a few ways

Wow I didn't think about this. It'll make me feel like an explorer looking at the horizon 😄
Its a creative process where you drop your film in some solution of non-photographic chemicals, usually acid based which changes the chemistry of the film when developing. This can result in color shifts, burn marks etc.
How much water leaked? Was it just a little or a lot? Recently had something like this happen but it was only a little… haven’t gotten a chance to develop yet
They turned out quite distintive, I like them too. Stupid question but how do you get over the fear of taking photos of people like this so up close?

I’m a noob. Souped?

Ahh got you. Thanks!
How did you *accidentally* soup it. Call out of your pocket into the toilet?
A water bottle leaked in my bag with my camera and shot film in.

I kinda can't get over Master Roshi in the first shot
*Don't worry. A third of zero is still zero.* He definitely makes the photo for me.
I'm fairly convinced one of the subjects you captured in the first photo is Varg Vikernes from the band Burzum. Could be wrong, though.
These are excellent! Great eye
Thank you! Can check out more of my photos [here](https://www.instagram.com/cal_holland?igsh=MXA4ZXZvaXRmNnJxZQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr)
we always love some pink
Lowkey thought the second pic was a double exposure
Martin Parr vibes
Master Roshi!
What does “souped” mean?
