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?
You say these images are going into a portfolio. It’s only really an issue if your posting these in public, either online or in a gallery. If these photos will never be in the public domain then you don’t really need to worry about what people will think, because they’ll never see the images.
If your posting images publicly then I would seek permission even if I didn’t have to. I don’t want to make people feel bad or like they’re being pointed at. Or to run away and wide when they see me with a camera.
