  • The photo will more honest if the subject trust you. It will be closest to a photojournalist photo. Which is very important to photojournalist.
  • The subject will be more comfortable with you, it will make the environment easier to work in.They could use you as a future reference, and send you to others. 
  • There are little techniques you can use to help gain your subjects trust.
  • I used the photo above because if both of those subjects didn't trust the photojournalist, there isn't any way this shots would have came to be.
