Here's a good article that Thumper showed me.

It's better to know this beforehand when you are out snapping away in public places.

Rights of a Photographer in the United States of America

That's a clear and concise article. I've seen the card before, but I've never printed it out. I'm not a street photographer and I don't think I photograph sensitive buildings, so maybe I think I'm immune. Still it might be a good idea to have it on hand.

 

Did you see this? Kinda hilarious.

Ugh, unbelievable, what a psycho.  It's a good thing he had that video.  Maybe everyone should wear a go-pro, at all times, for their own protection.

Kind of like Russian drivers all seem to have dash cameras in their cars!

Great share! Did a shoot of a truck a few months back. The driver knew a good spot around the corner from his warehouse and we took his word for it. About 10 minutes in a police car came and drove very slowly passed us, and there was no other reason for them to be there than us, as we were at a dead end.

 

They didn't stop, but i wondred why they came. Turned out that the building, which had no branding or exterior signage - with reflective glass, was infact the factory for a Forumal 1 team - so we guessed they'd called them thinking we may have been after trade secrets.lol

 

Handy info to have!

 

Currently looking at legal stuff at work, as we photograph lots of people at shows, customers etc - yet we never get a signed disclaimer to say they're okay for us to use the images. Apparantly the soliciter says a verbal agreement is acceptable. Which surpsied me.

What are you using the photos for? Unless they are used in your marketing campaign you should be OK without the forms.

Verbal is fine until the subject denies they gave you verbal permission.

We use the images mainly for internal guides/training maunals. But we also use them in newsletters and some other extranal items. From know on we are getting signatures... just in case. There will no doubt come a day that happens.

In the EU, verbal should be enough, if not for commercial use (marketing). Written is always better though. Newsletters go under editorial usage.

The Easy Release app would be quite good for that...they can sign right on the screen...
