Which brings me to my response to the valid question from an NZP reader, what do you know about the people you are photographing? The recent protests at Parliament have been an excellent opportunity to practice walking amongst a crowd and chatting to various people about their reasons for being there, before asking if they will pose for a portrait. In doing this, I’ve found a much deeper connection to those now featuring in my work which makes capturing a good photo even more meaningful. Being transparent with your reason for wanting to take a photo and engaging with your subject will mean you are less likely to run into any issues. Of course, it’s entirely legal to take photos of people in a public place, subject to the rules below – but that doesn’t mean that kids or people in an unfortunate situation, etc. should be taken advantage of. A healthy dose of discretion and a strong sense of compassion should always be used. Think to yourself, am I empowering this person or capturing this scene in a true light? If the answer is no, don’t take the shot, and move on. Photos taken on the Street under NZ law can be published freely without the consent of the subject, however, they cannot be used in advertising or other commercial purposes unless used under an editorial license. If you are travelling abroad and intend on taking photos, I would certainly check first whether it is legal to do so, or if there are other reasons such as religious or cultural protocols in place that mean it’s not a good idea to do so. WHAT ARE THE RULES AROUND TAKING PHOTOS OR FILMING IN A PUBLIC PLACE? It is generally lawful to take photographs of people in public places without their consent. However, you must not film or take photos of people if they are in a place where they can expect privacy (such as a public changing area or toilet) and that person: • is naked, in underclothes, showering, toileting, etc. • is unaware of being filmed or photographed. • has not given consent to be filmed or photographed. You should not take photos of people if: • they are in a place where they would expect reasonable privacy and publication would be highly offensive to an objective and reasonable person. • it has the potential to stop other people’s use and enjoyment of the same place. • you have no legitimate reason for taking the film or photos. However, you can take and/or publish photos or film of people where there is no expectation of privacy, such as a beach, shopping mall, park, or other public place. CONCLUSION Next month we’ll be discussing post-processing your street photos to make them pop but until then, you can message me @bokehstreet on IG with any questions you might have, or sign up for one of my Street Walk sessions to learn more in-person. You can also see some of my photos for sale on the Excio Photo Library at excio.io/photos/search/alan+blundell which will hopefully inspire you to get out there with your camera to enjoy the last few weeks of Summer. The grounds of Parliament were filled with people from all walks of life, each with their own unique story to tell. Leica Q2, Summilux 1:1.7/28 ASPH lens @ F1.7, 1/1000s, ISO100, 28mm
