taking someones photo
Discussion
working on a site at the mo that is non smoking,we are right by the gate that leads onto a public road,when we are waiting for someone/something to happen i step outside the site for a puff,there is a muppet there(rep of site owners) that followed me out and tried to take a photo of me, i pointed out that i was on the public road and not his site,he continued to aim his camera at me so i told him in no uncertain terms that i didnt want him taking a pic of me and walked away.
is he infringing my privacy/human rights/causing me stress and suffering?

In a public place he can take a photo of whatever he likes including you.
If this stresses you perhaps you should step back on-site where he needs permission to photograph you, however, you cannot smoke.
Maybe he has it in for you as you left site without permission and it was nothing to do with smoking.

Just walk away. If he persists, ask him to stop. If he continues, give him a slap.
You'll be supprised how receptive someone is after you've just given them a slap, or the old Mk1 bunny punch to the chin.
Works wonders. Nothing says "Stop being a
." more than chinning them.
If he really does persist, bring your keyboard out with you whilst you smoke and practice swishing it around like a samurai.
He will seriously NOT go anywhereing near you if you do this, you mad freak.
HTH.

Here are three three-step processes to dealing with the problem.
The first way:
1) Become a celebrity.
2) Sell photographs of yourself to one of the 'celebrity magazines'.
3) Sue the current photographer for breaching commercial confidence.
Alternatively:
3) Sue for breach of privacy.
But you have to be a 'celebrity' or it doesn't work.
The second way:
1) Serve as a steward in the Merchant Navy.
2) Become Deputy Prime Minister.
3) Punch people in the street with impunity.
But you also have to play croquet, be a complete prat who burbles nonsense all the time and have your diary secretary give you BJs under the desk!
Can you do either of these? If not, relax and enjoy the attention. Strike a pose when the happy-snapper comes out.

Streaky - I think he needs to publish under part one, not just take the photo.
In short if he's taking a photo of you, taken from a public place, even if you are not, and providing it's not outraging the public decency (ie it's a not photo down your trousers taken from a public place), then he's got a few rights.
However, you have a few rights over the image that he creates. In particular his ability to publish that image or make any commercial gain where you are the subject.
Should he link it to your name or identity then he becomes a data controller, and needs to register with the Data Commissioner.
I had a one pager on this somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment. I'll post it when it comes to light.

Not quite, I think the only rights you have is that your image cannot be used to endorse a product, they can publish or sell the photo with no problems - otherwise where would the paparazzi be?Next time take piccys of him with your phone taking piccys of you taking piccys of him taking piccys of you taking piccys of him......................
Then tell him in no uncertain terms that if he don't off, you'll go to the old bill and say you got some piccys of a peado taking piccys of local kids.
Personally though he would have heard 2 warnings....the third he would have felt.

I've got a sodding brilliant plan. Go to the gate, and stand with one foot on site, one foot on the pavement and light up. You'll be ok smoking as half of you is on the street, but he can't take photos of you as half of you is on site so he needs permission.
I'm a genius!
But then, going by what happened to Charles Kennedy when he was hanging out of a train window having a fag, you'd be done for smoking on a no-smoking site I'm a genius!

I originally wrote that as up your skirt, which is technically more obvious, but I don't think I wanted to accuse the OP of being a skirt-wearing smoker.
