10. Ask Permission Before Taking Pics
Have you ever had your picture taken by a total stranger? If not, what would you tell the person who took the pic? And if yes, how did you feel about it? People are not objects like a painting or a location, and it can be quite offensive to take their photo without permission.
So, if you’re ever visiting a cute rural village and you see the locals wearing traditional attire, don’t just grab the camera and take photographs, especially if it’s a kid. Make sure to ask first, bond with the person, and try to show them the photos later to see if they liked them.
