Did you seek permission from any of these people before posting photos of them and/or their family members online?

Just because it’s not illegal to take photos of people in a public place, doesn’t mean it’s not a shit thing to do

If I jumped on reddit and saw pictures of my children on here, taken without my consent, I would absolutely lose my shit.

Great pics. I went to Moomba today and really enjoyed it. Never been one for things like that but was great.
(Also don’t listen to the sourpuss’ in this chat.)

Jesus. It’s as if people have no understanding of public places. There’s no problem here. It’s completely legal.
Is art that dead in this country. That if it isn’t a celebrity it’s an invasion of privacy?

Lol, you’re allowed to shoot photos in public.

Someone took a photo of me and my kid at an event 5 years ago and it still impacts my life. I had escaped a violent relationship and my ex finally didn’t know where I lived (an intervention order is only as good as the willingness of the person to obey it). I was trying to return to some semblance of normal and went to a public event, even though I felt anxious about it.
A photographer suddenly popped out of a crowd, pointed the lens directly at us, snapped a few photos and then quickly moved away. I didn’t get the vibe that they were doing anything creepy per-say, but I felt violated. I was/still am so careful with my information and photos online, it was such a shock that someone was so careless with our safety and didn’t even take a moment to check if we were okay with it.
I’ve never gone to that event again in case my ex saw the photo somewhere online, came along next year and followed me home. As much as I try to relax and still enjoy my life, I still tense up around photographers at events, it’s really stressful. I’m sharing this so people can understand the very real safety issue here. I’m not the only person who is in a similar situation. Our photography laws are the minimum standards, but we can and do collectively hold ourselves to higher standards than the law in many areas.
Posting pics of other people’s kids is not cool. Maybe fix that shit.

Nice photos! Ignore the nonsense of people moralising at you.
Street photography is not like seeking permission to ask someone to sit for an oil painting. In public there is no right to privacy. It’s art, man. Enjoy the shots.

OP, this is a really great article about how to do creative street photography in a more ethical way, if you’re interested: https://www.blind-magazine.com/tips/the-ethics-of-street-photography/
Neat, I’m in one of the photos. Great stuff.
