Yes you can. That is, until a security guard or some representative of the mall’s administration asks you to stop. The mall is a private building, and as such, the owners or administrators have the right to ban photography on their premises.
Christmas Decorations are Starting to Go Up
If a person is a minor subject in a larger photo I don’t seek permission – it’s just not logistically possible to ask everyone for permission.
There are some taboos about photographing people, especially women,I mean the above ladies .
It’s just not logistically possible to ask everyone for permission to photograph....but just don't hide when photographing people.
Getting ‘permission’ can mean different things in different situations – often it’s simply a matter of holding up your camera and smiling with a raised eyebrow. Other times you might actually ask but gesturing will usually be sufficient enough to get a nod or a shake of the head. I find that it’s quite rare to get knocked back from a friendly approach.
All the above photograph are taken in 3rd floor of a Bolivard shopping mall Kuching,Sarawak.
