Hold your camera up more often than you need to. I love candids and want people to just carry on. I fake out a lot before taking an actual shot. It helps get people around me used to it and then they start ignoring me a bit. And if it feels right, I’ll just sit and scope around so no one knows when I’m actually going to shoot (rather than raising the camera repeatedly).

I also fire pretty liberally, because you never know what you might catch.

And if I’m with like a group of my own friends, I stay in the conversation and chat while I’m framing up a shot. It seems to help downgrade the drama/importance of _taking a _photograph.
