Safest areas for street photography in Mexico City?

其他 5 天前 4 answers •

I've been doing urban photography in Mexico City for a while now, but I had a scary encounter with some vendors near Tlatelolco. They got upset when I took pictures of a graffiti and threatened to hit me. I know the law and was not doing anything wrong, but I still got intimidated. I'm looking for safer areas to take photos without running into trouble.

Unfortunately, the city is not as safe as to take pictures anywhere. I try to stick to well-lit, touristy areas like Reforma, Chapultepec, and the Roma neighborhood. It's better to be safe than sorry.

You should have gone to the police or filed a report. By not doing anything, you're perpetuating the problem.

You probably stumbled into an area with illicit activity. Some people might have seen you as a threat or a potential witness. It's not just about taking pictures, but also about understanding the people and the environment.
