One of the things that many photographers speak of is empathy for your subjects; while I hate the romanticizing of the idea that should honestly just be common sense, I agree that you should always do unto others as you'd have others do unto you.

Blame Catholic schooling for that. If you want to turn the camera onto other people, you shouldn't be that person that says "Oh I don't like having the camera turned on me. " If that's the case, then why do it to others? Why not instead work to make yourself feel better in front of the camera or find a way to work with a photographer to do that? This has been my belief for years and in my eyes, there's no exception to this rule. In order to have true empathy for your subjects, you need to step into their shoes and live a day in their lives. When you combine this with a few recent life changes that I've made, it adds up and becomes something that it worth putting forward in photos that are representative of who you are. . thephoblographer.com
