Those sorts of images in social reportage are the ones that could get you in troubleStreet photography I am learning is 90% balls.
There are big ball images and small ball images. It’s not hard to spot the difference
That kinda depends on what you want to get out of it. If you are the type of person with a lasting complex about what people (in in social reportage you most likely will never meet ever again) think of you, ie "weirdo" then this type of photography isn't for you.I agree with this quote totally. You can see in many street photos the suspicious look on people's faces. If they see someone taking photos with a dslr they think you're a weirdo but think nothing when hundreds of people around them are taking photos with their smart phones.
However if you want to improve your skills so when you have taken the photo and someone asks what you are doing you can use the explanation something like "I wanted to capture an interesting person in and interesting situation" to illustrate a story (or invoke the viewer to create a story behind the image), then show them what you just shot then that's what you need to do.
