Do photographers posting such photos ask people in the photos for permission? I sometimes take such photos, but I don't post them, unless there are many people in them (as opposed to just 1-3), but that means I don't post a lot of really good photos, which is a shame. I'm a bit on the verge about it.
- smnrchrds 4y agoDepending on where you are, asking for permission may be either just good practice (to not be an asshole) or a legal requirement. I believe it's the latter in Belgium, where this photographer is located. https://economie.fgov.be/en/themes/intellectual-property/intellectual-property-rights/copyright-and-related-rights/copyright/right-image https://economie.fgov.be/en/themes/intellectual-property/int...
- yakubin 4y agoIt’s a legal requirement, where I am. I just know of several cases where that wasn’t done. And in the case of that Flickr account I do wonder whether the author stopped the cyclists to ask, where I’d guess he would often maybe not be able to.
