An excellent idea that suits my interest in both the law and photography.
Very well done with a great style of presentation
Cheers
Very interesting podcast, thank you. I’m an amateur who has developed a strong interest in street photography and have been looking for definitive guidelines. I had thought I was perfectly within my rights to take and publish any image of any person in a public place, but it seems the whole question has yet to be resolved. It will be a great shame if street photography is effectively outlawed, or made too impractical to bother with. Some of the greatest photographs ever taken are street pics. I also wonder what the team thinks of the fact that all of us are constantly being photographed by CCTV as we go about our business, Surely if a privacy law is introduced it will make this surveillance illegal.
I do take on board the comments about putting oneself in the shoes of the person being photographed – that is a question of common decency. The problem is that the minute you ask permission to take a photograph you ruin it, or at least make it something else.
But from now on, if i think i have something worthwhile, I will take the precaution of checking afterwards with the person concerned. On reflection, if i were being covertly photographed, it might well irk me somewhat to find my image all over the web.
Thanks again for the information.
