I am currently living in Shanghai, China. It is my first time to mainland China and unfortunately, Shanghai is not the “real” China, because the people here are really different to rural areas. People are undergoing a lot of pressure in this biggest and most expensive city of China, so the people here are very stressed and sadly, often unfriendly.
But Street Photography in Shanghai is not a problem at all – if you want to take photos of people without asking them – just go for it – chinese people tend to take pictures of foreigners unasked all the time, so it´s normal here.
Here are a few examples of the images I took so far in Shanghai:
Hi Oliver,
Are you in Shanghai this weekend for a street photography tour?
