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?

What you could do if you REALLY want to appease your friends and also maybe just be cool, take a pic then go to the stranger and tell them you are building your portfolio and was just letting them know you were going to put it on instagram and ask if you can tag them. If they say yes then you are given permission. If they say they don’t want to be posted on instagram then don’t post it. Try to be like Weird Al. Because his music is Parody they are protected as free speech and does NOT need permission to make any of his music. But he never parodied a song without the original musicians blessing
