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?
Do you have to show them on any social media?
I pay a website to host mine. I have ownership of my photos and if web crawlers respect the rules the photos are not catalogued by a big tech firm.
The photos that you posted on any social become just a pool of images for various AI training sets. This seems to be the case regardless of any privacy policy or statements made to the contrary.
I think how you demonstrate respect for the images goes a part way towards answering your question.
Anything you post on the internet these days may well be used for training AI. It may also be used for AI assisted lookup to match with other photos of that person and help build a profile of them. I like to do street photography but the modern internet is bringing up some real conundrums in relation to privacy.
