English term or phrase:
hang out tip
English answer:
spontaneous [while hanging out]

hang out tip
I used to tuck it behind my shit and I later designated by style as pro photos on a hang out tip.
The first sentence by the interlocutor and the second one is the photographer itself.
Thanks in advance,

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"hang out" is what close friends do, an informal way of spending time together with no particular purpose. This means the photographer wants it to be an informal meeting outside of a studio, getting to know his subject by "hanging out" and taking pictures spontaneously at different moments, avoiding the "posed" feel of a studio, giving an impromptu, spontaneous, informal and intimate feel.

I think for your first occurrence you will need to use the idea of friends "hanging out"; "it was as if you were just hanging out [with them]"
and for the second occurrence describe the photographic result as a style; "I later designated [m]y style as "pro[fessional] photos taken while hanging out".

This was no paparazzo; he was part of the scene. This article's titile, "Point and Shoot" gives the context behind his unposed, unplanned, spontaneous style.

"It was just prior to one such art event that Powell shot one of his most well known photographs, that of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat en route to the opening of their famous joint-exhibition at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in spring of ’85. “I was ***hanging out*** across the street with two dudes who were very important to me at the time, graffiti writers Zephyr and Revolt: prolific graffiti writers-slash-celebrated outlaws. I was ***hanging*** with them watching the scene, psyched just to hang out with them and take a few pictures, when I saw Warhol and Basquiat coming down the street towards the opening.

Ricky Powell said the following:
"I captioned my pictures of 30 years as “pro photos on a hang-out tip."
"When I do a shoot, I tell a person, ‘Yo, just meet up with me. We'll go for a walk and talk.’ We'll be walking and talking, feeling each other out, and having a laugh. Then we'll be walking by a certain brick wall, or a stoop, I'll be like, ‘Yo, yo. Right here. This is perfect.’ So I think I have a good sense of what's dope. And thankfully it works out.

a waiting place for paparazzi
Your particular example is a photographer who shoots both celebrities and just people who look interesting.

: “On a tip” is rap talk here; I don’t think it’s used here as a synonym for “tip-off, “scoop” or “hint”. And it’s “hang out” (just hanging out) not a hang-out (place). This photographer was not a paparazzo but a culture magazine/art scene photographer
