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?
The easy solution is ASK the person since you are using 25mm then you cant be more than a few meter from them.
There are tons of street photographers on youtube which does this.
Also, why do you need a public portfolio just to get into university? Just print out 20, 50 or 100 of your best pictures for the university.
If you ask them if you can take their picture you’re now doing street portraits and not pure street photography. It’s impossible to get permission from everyone you’re shooting in the street.
