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?

    I’m in the camp of “it’s ok to take the photo (unless someone objects, in that case delete it), but it’s not ok to post it publicly on the internet”. If you’re building a portfolio for university, go ahead and do that, but it should be between you and the university and not on Instagram.
