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?

    I’m not a fan. Random people in a photo is not a problem. But making them the subject without their permission is kinda shitty. There are other less public venues you can use for your application, but I sure hope you have something else to show them. Besides street stuff

      Of course the street photography us one of many projects. I’m only trying to show the diversity of people within urban spaces.
