read my most excellent review here ;-)
ok, in a nutshell...
1) for the most part, you are free to take a picture of anyone or anything
2) except for editorial use, you typically cannot sell an image of someone else without their permission
3) always try to get permission, even if it's after the image is taken
a
4) if you have to assert your rights, do so diplomatically, but be prepared to simply walk away and try again another day
5) have an idea as to what you are doing and why you are doing it before you do it
6) always tell the truth
7) read more here and buy it from amazon for under $14.
8) right-click and select 'add to favorites' to bookmark this thread
9) feel free to pm if you have any specific questions...i am not a lawyer, but love giving free advice, almost as much as kpriest loves giving away photoshopping
;-)

Looks like an interesting book. Most of these issues would be resolved in the UK in broadly the same way.
You are right to draw attention to the issue of taking v. using the photograph. Taking photographs is rarely prohibited in public spaces, though using those photographs is much more complicated.
One point that I would add as I have seen it raised several times here is: when is a space public or private? - eg the question asked is whether one can sell photographs taken at an organised show of some kind.
If it is an organised event, you should treat the space you are entering as private. The extent to which you can take photographs without further permission is often set out on signs at the entrance/guidebook etc, or in the terms & conditions that govern your entrance ticket. However, even if you are allowed to take photographs for personal use, these terms will often prohibit commercial photography, for which you will need additional permission.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing the info. I did notice that it's a September 2001 publication. I wonder if since 9/11 any of these laws have changed.
Thanks for sharing I'll have to check out this book out of pure interest nothing more.

| The same attorney has a summary of your rights as a photographer available as a free PDF download -- print it and carry it in your camera bag. |

Again, as I stated elsewhere, be cautious about upholding your rights. Use your common sense because there is nothing more rampant than employees usurping their authority. If you have the right to shoot but you are confronted and asked to stop, best to consider consequences because you may then become involved in a legal battle which you may ultimately win but meanwhile you could suffer equipment damage and loss of equipment until matter is resolved. You will require a lawyer and there is always an expense.
So again, know your rights but also bear in mind that not everybody is aware of them nor are some people going to give you the benefit of doubt. Sometimes reasons arise that make even public shooting a problem becasue of certain circumstances and those in charge will instruct security guards, no pictures, period. These guards will try to enforce the mandate because the company is ready to take a hit with court fees and fines. Be reasonable and remeber that you can always return and if you can't, best to walk away with your equipment intact.

I believe this is the same advice as is given in the book as well. |

This is a timely topic and thanks for posting the info Skiprow.
I was run off last Wednesday from taking photos of a building from a public sidewalk by private security. I am going to try to get a hold of the supervisors to find out under what authority they think they can do it (and hopefully present them with Krages' one sheet. |
