Concerning street photography and publication. As with most street, there are going to be people you do not know in the frame. When there is a group of people I suppose there never will be a problem, but what does the law say when one or two persons are singled out and are cleary the "subject" in the image?
I have seen numerous images with, for instance, a homeless sleeping up against the wall, a banker eating a sandwich on a bench, a cyclist crossing the street, a mother walking with her crying 5 year old, a policeman waving the traffic etc etc etc
I am sure you see where I am going with this! How do I know what I can publish when persons are very cleary portraid in an image and then published without them knowing, because it is ofcourse impossible to run around and ask everyone or have agreements on paper at hand!
I could point at several images even in our own "imagethread" here where this question could be asked. What happens if one of these "subject persons" sees a published image here or elsewhere and freaks? Lawyers up and gives the M9 shooter hell? What can happen?
