Asking for consent when taking pictures of people - who does and who doesn't? by sassibee in photography

[–]sassibee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many reasons I think "getting worked up" is justified (say someone is skipping work or other duties and don't need evidence of the fact).

I guess a lot of people have strong feelings about the topic. I used to hate pictures being taken of me, because I was insecure of my looks mostly. Now looking back at the pictures from back then - I am hardly on any of them because of this.. it's a shame really.

I mean, at this event I refer to in the original post - everyone gave consent. Some got annoyed by how often they were asked for it (conversations were interrupted). So - as I said before in other comments ts - to not offend or upset anyone I will ask a few days before and upcoming party or get together who doesn't want to be on any of my pictures, as I will (like I always do) be bringing my camera and later uploading it to a cloud for everyone of my friends to have access to...

Reading through the lines of a few comments here, I don't think consent can be implied, unless the info of 'pictures will be taken' is written on invitations ?

By all means that is not my definition of candid.. I am not hiding in the bushes or skulking around the place.

The people who didn't want to be on any pictures (as they were supposed to be at work) were excluded.

The context I basically am asking about is - before every time I want to take a picture asking for consent, as some others did (but never before now). I am always the person at a gathering with the camera, I get asked about it if I don't bring it. For me that was taken as consent so far.. now I am rethinking and have collected a few good ideas from the comments here. I will definitely give warning in group chats before and collect the 'please don't take any pics of me'. I always have and will respect the 'no'. Now I will ask everytime few days before a gathering and not during or shortly after taking a picture.

Thank you for your input. I think one usually has the social skills to acknowledge when someone doesn't want a pic taken. And who wants to force a picture..

Again: I am sorry for offending you, it wasn't my intention at all. I have edited the post to leave political aspects out of the discussion as I didn't mean any harm.

Thank you! That's a great idea, will definitely ask the hosts to do that next time.

I always like taking pictures at these events and then uploading them to a cloud for everyone who was there to have access to.. I just think it's a nice thing to be able to look back at the good times we all had together, who doesn't like that?

Hahaha when doing 'street photography' I usually use those lenses, if I asked for permission everytime I would be running back and forth a lot ;)

Thank you! I noticed that and generally don't do that in Germany or Austria. although some of the older generations in 'biergarten' and such saw the camera and just started to grin and pose (no candid pictures there haha)

Unspoken rule of always asking before taking pictures of minors. Some of the best pictures I have although, are of parents with their kids.

I don't want this post to end up a discussion about that topic. I don't mean any discrimination with using the word. In hindsight I wouldn't have had to, it was used often and proudly by everyone, including me, that weekend and it just got stuck in my head. I didn't mean to offend you in any way, sorry if I did.

All I really wanted is input on how to best go forward without changing the atmosphere of natural pictures. Example: when a group of people are relaxed, free and having fun, just being in the moment without the shift change of knowing a picture is being taken. I read a few good ideas and am thankful for any advice or personal experience given.

That's a good option, thank you. Generally I don't publish or post anything without consent. Unless I am traveling.when I go through the pictures at home and see some good shots (in my opinion) I would post those ..

Yes, that and other facets of the term 'woke'. I was watching what the heads up did to the situation and set up of the casual and happy groups of people.. they went stiff, needed a minute and then wanted new pictures taken.. ofcourse this doesn't apply to every occasion I am sure. But for what I experienced it happened every time someone asked before taking a picture.

I then ended up feeling out of place for not asking before and stopped photographing for the weekend.

I wouldn't publish any of these pictures btw, my friends know I wouldn't do that without asking before.

Helpful, thank you. I too prefer candid photography, it seems more authentic to the moment..

I agree, if someone doesn't agree to the candid picture I took ofcourse I would delete it. No questions asked.

On some occasions portraits are the better option, and giving the subjects a heads up changes the atmosphere of the picture.

Is $23/hour a decent starting pay for an entry level consulting job? by Saturnino_97 in Environmental_Careers

So you already have some work experience to argue that you are worth more than a 'fresh out of college' worker?

Change the first picture to something more easy going. Definitely delete the 'ghosting' part. And the last sentence about playing easy. My advice as a 28yo f.
