A while ago I made a post on hear asking if it was OK to post pictures of people in street photography, the general consensus was yes and its legal in England.

For some context I’m building a portfolio for uni and wanted to show off all my images.

Well my frend mentioned today it was super creepy and run as I didn’t have their consent.

I’m torn, it was in a public place, its completely legal, you can’t really tell who thay are in most of them,

Idk, I feel super bad, but I don’t wanna delete them as they really add to my uni application. All photos have some people in If you’re taking street photography.

What should I do?

    I mean I took a picture of someone in the park the other day watching a skyline from a bench. Their face isn’t show in the picture and it is just their silhouette. I think stuff like that you don’t need consent really because they won’t know it’s them anyway. But if it is blatantly obvious then I would ask. It is very hard to do but I am always respectful and I always offer the picture to them if they would like it.
