How to distinguish between snapshot, sneak shot and rubbing shot?

Snap shots, sneak shots and rubbing shots are different. Snapping: Snapping, as a photography technique, refers to the natural, vivid and expressive instantaneous image of the subject without knowing it. Any subject is suitable for this shooting technique, such as news photography, sports photography, animal photography and people photography.

Sneak shot: Sneak shot refers to an abnormal shooting method, which means shooting real people and things in real situations, and the subject is also shooting without knowing it. Just like paparazzi shooting entertainment stars, it belongs to sneak shot and is easy to infringe on portrait rights.

Snapping: refers to people who don't know each other taking pictures, taking the opportunity to take pictures, and using this photo to show off themselves or achieve special goals.

Other shooting techniques

Blind shot: blind shot refers to shooting with a camera or video equipment in a specific situation without using a viewfinder or LCD screen.

Blind shot's shooting skills: blind shot does not shoot blindly, which is generally not conducive to the photographer's shooting position and conditions. It is difficult to shoot and the success rate is not high. Blind shot needs a lot of practice to accumulate experience, but blind shot's shooting has a disadvantage that he can't compose and focus calmly.

Blind shooting is different from snapshot. Snapshots may not have time to adjust the focal length, so they should be taken as soon as they are turned on. You can use automatic exposure mode, and blind shot is ready to take them. You can set the exposure parameters first, and then pick up the camera to shoot.
