You have to watch [Yi-Yi 2000](https://boxd.it/1a5pyZ), it's a movie about a kid who takes photos of other people back of the head so that they can see what others see of them.
Yi-Yi’s long been one of my favorite films, great recommendation! Always loved that the kid was named Yang Yang after the director Edward Yang. Really nice little touch.
As an aside, I often like to protect the privacy of people by shooting from behind or afar or in shadow. In those cases it’s having a figure in general in the shot rather than sharing a more intimate portrait or candid of an individual. Of course that way of shooting is also “easier” for the shy shooter but I think it can be okay when it suits the idea of the shot.
I agree that shooting from behind works when it suits the shot, or does more than a candid portrait would.
One day I’ll do my best to write a post about my thoughts on photography and privacy. You mentioned sharing - where and how you share candid images is crucial to the discussion.
Both sides are interesting, though the face/front makes me sad, sad that that face surfaces everywhere.

Interesting (and surprising)!
