Im, not a photographer but my understanding is that there is no guarantee of privacy in public. You are being recorded everywhere you go.
I don't think that's crucial, but I think most street photographers should avoid it personally. It helps keep the integrity of the craft going IMO - gotta have some mystery!
The most ethical thing a street photographer should do is to leave people out if they are recognizable. It's never a good thing to take a photo of someone without their consent, especially in America. That's why I hate paparazzi
I agree with this. I would definitely say they should be left out.
Most street photographers get away with it because, technically speaking, they're in a public space which is a fair game. You're even allowed to sell the photographs you took.
This is why I really appreciate the few street photographers who respect their subjects enough that they ask their consent first before they actually call the first shot.
I started street photography as a hobby a year ago and within a month had stopped using photos that the person could be identified in. I felt uncomfortable with it, especially since the most powerful photos were capturing people at vulnerable moments. I get creative with objects and shadows to offer partial coverage of their face.
I don't think it's really that serious. Unless it is with bad intentions. That is why is it important to ask permission first.
I'm fine with it. Well, I think it also has something to do with culture. Like in some countries, they blurred the people who are not part of the group.
