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?

There’s this one time, I got a whole big ass lens straight in front of my face, while I’m just walking back after doing groceries carrying stuffs without a bag. That’s weird guys just blindly stopped me to take 2-3ish photo and then walked away without saying anything. Like wth just happened, I should have slapped him in face but I’m so shock…. Idk what he’s gonna do with those pictures but I’m still haunted today’s not knowing what’s he’s doing with those pictures….

Guys, at least explain and ask the people being taken, or at least show them the result before going away and randomly posting anywhere you want…
