There is a whole genre on youtube of people who go out and bother people in public with cameras "because it's their right". Check out "Amagansett Press". Fine, people have their rights.
That said, In film school, we were taught that we can film anyone in public and that's our right, and also taught that if you film someone in public and they come up and tell you it's a problem, it's polite to not publish their likeness/delete the image. I always did do, but quite a few kids in class couldn't care less.
Different strokes.
- foverzar 3y ago> if you film someone in public and they come up and tell you it's a problem, it's polite to not publish their likeness/delete the image That's my point, that's just basic politeness.
- neom 3y agoUnfortunately my friend, basic politeness is a lot to ask for in this day and age.
- foverzar 3y agoIn the age when mocking members of some politically disliked group and generally being a troll can get you viral? Yeah, not a chance.
- g-b-r 3y agoIt's actual law to respect that demand, in many countries
- foverzar 3y agoI assume that's where the idea of taking a legal action comes from, but that should be irrelevant. If someone asks you not to publish their faces, especially after you were the one to approach them first in the first place, you just do it. Period. All it takes is a single note and 30 seconds of time during editing.
