Anecdotally, I grew up that way pre-digital cameras (I'm 29, my mom is a photographer) and I actively avoid having my picture taken to this day because of it.

I occasionally take pictures, but I make sure to ask "Can I take your picture?" Every. Single. Time. Consent matters. If you're a parent who likes taking pictures, you should do the same as soon as your kid is old enough to understand and respond to the question.
- poo-yie 5y agoI completely agree on getting consent. Always! The only exceptions are when the subject is so far away that you can only tell it's a person, and cannot determine the identity of the person. Besides, it's all too easy to be perceived as being creepy when you're photographing strangers. Don't be that creepy person.
- CoryAlexMartin 5y agoI disagree. Candid photographs are way more natural and interesting than ones in which everyone is posing. I would much prefer people not to ask permission before they take my photo. In fact, the photo I use as my profile picture on social media was taken without my knowledge, and it’s better because of that.
