Do you have it? What does it mean to you? Does it even matter?
-Let someone with an eye up to their viewfinder take their shot before walking past the front of them.
-Not scare away a live subject that someone is trying to shoot.
-Encounter a subject or good photographic opportunity and take a couple of shots and let others in to shoot or view; especially kids.

isn't this rather: how to behave around a photographer?
In my mind photographer's etiquette would be how a photographer behaves, for example:
- don't use flash on full blast into the face of somebody without warning

welland and petur, i agree with both your points, and up until last night, would have gone along with them. but, after seeing the movie Paparazzi The Movie, i feel that it really is everyone for themselves

i beleive photographers and artist are unique people in everything they do and i think in most cases they can be distiguished without a camera. my question to everyone would be etiquette in the since of communicating with a model on the job or in general ? i think i have split personalities lol lol
ps i seen that movie paparazzi is that real for there camera flashes to cause a accident can a flash recycle its self that fast?

when at work, when a person uses a flash it is usually 'etiquette' to say "flashing".
it is also good practice as a non-photographer to stop, or go around a picture taker so as not to ruin there attempt.
and if you are a casual observer, it is good practice to stay out of the eye line (line of sight) of the subject. this is because alot of subjects are nervous as it is, and to be anywhere else is better.

| Even if there would be an etiquette I wouldn't have time to think about it. :) As I mostly do candids, if I think for a second my subject is gone. I go with shoot now, ask later. Sometimes people ask me what am I doning and on verry rare ocasions they become aggresive but then I use flash without warning to escape :) |

Yeah, sometimes I wish I had a laser guided,nuclear powered, soy bean based smart flash to help get out of sticky situations. It can be great for self defence.
What? I can dream, can't I???

| While I was at the Expo during my vacation in Japan, I was photographing some costumed dancers who were parading on the Global Walk. I was extremely annoyed when another photographer charged into the scene and started shooting less than 2 feet away from the dancers (right in their faces). I could see that the dancers were quite annoyed as well because he was actually blocking their movements. I considered this to be a display of extremely poor etiquette by that photographer, and it caused me to become more aware of other people (potential photographers) behind me. It's one thing to be somewhat aggressive in order to get the shot, but not to be rude about it. |

It's funny, when I read some of these etiquette threads I think to myself, "when I'm out of line I know it." Similarly, when I see someone else who is out of line I "know it".
I must be way to conservative :)

I was at the zoo yesterday with a few photog friends and a monkey was right at the glass interacting with a kid on the other side. As one of my friends was taking a photo some more kids moved into the area and the parent grabbed them and said âwait until he takes the photo.â My friend said, âlet them enjoy their day at the zoo. Iâll get my shot.â
Class act on both parties part.

Been there myself - some overzealous photog, with a lens that could see the California coast from Virginia, planted himself at least 5 feet ONTO the soccer field at a recent game one of our kids was in. I was surprised that a ref didn't shoo him off. This guy was making it tough for people to see around him and was setting a terrible example as a photographer. Made me almost want to put my monopod away. Note I said almost...I just moved to the other end of the field. I usually try to stay out of the other parents' way by moving down and back some.

Bravo! Photography for me is about helping others to see the beauty in the world that I see through my own eyes. The photographer you mentioned was living that goal outside the medium. I hadn't considered how wide a range photography ethics could span.

LOL, I think loved that movie and I wasn't that sympathetic to the paparazzi, either. I thought they deserved what they got (maybe a little harsh, but If I was the guy I'd have been peeved and wanted to do the same thing). |
