Driver/ photographer

In most cities, if you take a photograph in public and there are people in the photograph, those people have no claim of rights to the photo. They're out in public and can be photographed at any time. Its a general rule, as a photographer, that you don't walk up to people and just start taking pictures of them. Douchebag paparazzi break that rule every day. In my case, since I plan on using displaying the images and the subject of the images is a human being with rights, it is my responsibility to get their permission and have them sign a release giving me permission to display their image. I think that's kind of where you were going with that rank.

 

Not necessarily true Wolf. Like I said above, if people are out in public I can take their picture all day and display the picture, as well as sell it, as I see fit, as long as I don't alter the image to put them in a bad light. You only need consent if the person you're photographing is 100% the subject of the image and you're on private property. Out in public everyone is fair game.
