That makes less than no sense. And by the way - the more people ask permission before shooting, the more the people being shot will come to expect that permission will be asked, and the less freedom there will be to photograph freely. As to holding oneself to "high standards" - what makes that a "high standard?" -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Karen Nakamura Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 11:34 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Photojournalists and permission > >fine if you want posed photos... > >Karen, are all of your photos posed ? Do I direct my subjects? No. Do I ask for permission? Yes. Do I ask for consent forms. No. Everyone on the high holy horse of posing, my response is FINE. But if you want to be ethical, you should ask permission before you post their photos on the web. It's common decency as well as the law in many places. But as I've said repeatedly, I hold myself to a pretty high standard. You don't have to do so if you don't want to.
