Law wrt photography in public spaces
Discussion
Quick could of questions if anyone knows tha answers:
1. Photographing people in public spaces: Do I need to get some sort of disclaimer/relaease form from the subject if I want to use their image in an image I show in a gallery or I sell?
2. Is there a different law wrt children. If I take photos of kids on playgrounds (e.g. the carousel on the seafront in Brighton) what laws/ permissions apply?
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

I think you're ok on point 1 so long as you don't sell them. Point 2 is just generally an extremely bad idea in the current time. there are threads in the archive about this subject with real proper detail.
thanks, i'll have a good dig thorough them.Edited by agent006 on Friday 27th July 23:57

you can sell images (prints) or hang them in a gallary no problem, the only problem is if you want to use it for advertisment. If there is no one specific subject then you are basically free to use it in such a way, but if its a portrait of someone then you could not without a release.
2. Is there a different law wrt children. If I take photos of kids on playgrounds (e.g. the carousel on the seafront in Brighton) what laws/ permissions apply?
no different law, just parents and idiotic people to deal with lol. if its private ground then you can be asked to stop, public land is no problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

I just follow my own rule
Carry on until your told
This may sound a little how can i put it, ignorant?
Obviously this rule doesn't apply to everything. But it works, until somebody says can you stop i don't, that way everyones happy. I took pictures of a carousel last christmas without a problem but as to your first question i wouldn't know.
I cant help feeling i've portrayed myself as someone different in my writing there, I just take lots of pictures until im told NO thats the in and out of it, i don't break any copyright laws or anything =P
