A while ago I made a post on hear asking if it was OK to post pictures of people in street photography, the general consensus was yes and its legal in England.
For some context I’m building a portfolio for uni and wanted to show off all my images.
Well my frend mentioned today it was super creepy and run as I didn’t have their consent.
I’m torn, it was in a public place, its completely legal, you can’t really tell who thay are in most of them,
Idk, I feel super bad, but I don’t wanna delete them as they really add to my uni application. All photos have some people in If you’re taking street photography.
What should I do?
Keep posting them. Unless you’re shooting people with a 70-200 (that is seriously creepy) you don’t have much to worry about being creepy. You can’t please everyone, so just do what you like.
I’m shooting with a 25mm manual appature lense that my dad gave me, it doesn’t zoom or anything, I literally have to be rather close to them to shoot. (I.e. not from a window like a creep)
That takes skill and practice. Keep it up!
You can shoot street at any focal length. Gate keeping lenses from an art form is obtuse.
