Should we get permission to photograph people?

IMHO - NO! But we should get permission to publish those pics in any shape or form.
If we see a picture to shoot - walk not talk, but to get permission first might lose what we saw.
ALWAYS offer a freebie of the shot and get permission to publish.
I don't do street - simply because I believe in privacy, whereas many "street" photogs seem to invade people's privacy without a second thought.

You are in the UK. The worse one can do to you is to stab you. In the US, you can be introduced to the Gruyère family.

If street photographers had to ask permission to shoot people, the history of photography would be missing a lot of great photos.

If your in a PUBLIC space, you can take anyone's image. But, like you said, if your going to make money off of it or publish it, you need a model release signed by the person. Verbal permission to take their image and then sell it is a NO NO.

It would seem that most photogs (Ugly Hedgehogs especially) are only interested in what their next Canikon can do to improve their future shots - rather than history, which, for the US, is limited, all be it, fast and furious.

I need to seed the dead spots in my lawn before the rain. I'll check back later to see how many hens have dropped a feather over this 'great debate'.

As I understand it, a release is required to use a photo for advertising or promotion of something. But it can be published as a news photo or shown in a gallery as art without the release, given that the photographer and the subject were in public. Of course, anyone can sue over anything and you don't know how that will come out.

Depends which country you are in. Some european countries have a concept of the right to your own image. If someone says do not take my pic, even in a public place, and you do then expect a violent response.
Most English speaking countries don’t have this and you can click away in public spaces.

More to the point - as a photog - what do YOU think?

US history is limited??? Human history in the US covers about 25,000 years. The difference being that we don't celebrate Kings and armies butchering their neighbors over and over and over again for the pleasure of ephemeral lordship and the experience of wading in knee deep blood!
Once was enough for us! And that was among ourselves! None of your business!!Apr 15, 2023 09:50:09 #
