A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

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?

Those cameras don't put their recordings online for everyone to see.

There is a big difference.

One person watching the security cams vs thousands of people watching your photo online.

what if the security camera footage is needed to be shown publicly on the news or for a crime? what if someone takes a selfie and you are in the background? what if someone is recording a tiktok and you walk into frame? you dont know if they are posting it to get 10 likes from their friends or if they have 70k followers.

it's ridiculous to suggest that the number of people who see the photo somehow make it worse or better.

Also on how protective parents are of their kids potentially be in a photos background cuz "pedos" but then happily pose with their kids for 1st page on local newspaper giving away loo rolls during covid

Last time I checked pedos can buy newspapers

Or better yet, they put images of their children in the bath on their socials because "that's different"
