I would recommend having the consent of your photographic subjects.

If someone doesn’t want you to take their picture, find someone who wants their picture taken!

I have to agree with pablohungry, plenty of people want there pictures taken, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding people who will. If someone doesn’t want to be photographed you should respect their wishes, or risk coming off as a stalker.

There is a device which you attach to the lens of your camera which shoots at a right angle. That way your camera is pointed well away from the subject so they are unaware of your shooting the photo. HOWEVER, I concur with others who say it is ideal to simply get your subject’s consent. And if you intend to publish the photo ANYWHERE, even on, for example, Flickr, a release from the subject is ideal an may spare you complaints or, in the extreme case, a lawsuit.

“However, for photos that will be used in commercial applications – ads, brochures, posters, greeting cards, catalogs, postcards, kiosks, trade shows, Web sites, etc. – you will need a release from your subject in order to be “legal.”

Some ask: “If you sell a photograph to a newspaper, is it now considered a commercial use since there was commercial gain?” or, “If you sell a print from an exhibit, is that commercial gain?” In theory, no. In practice, my photojournalist friends do not get releases; and my colleagues in the general editorial and fine art genres don’t get releases very often, either.

In all these years, I don’t know anyone personally who has had a legal issue regarding releases for these areas of photography. I have sold images for use in travel guides, and done many assignments for consumer magazines without needing to get releases. There are exceptions, however, such as corporate magazines.”

There is a device which you attach to your camera lenns which shoots at a right angle. Therefore the subject is unaware you are shooting him or her. The camera is thus pointed well away from the subject.

HOWEVER I agree that is is better to get a model release. But there are exceptions to the rule that states a model release is require.

“For my candids on the streets, in parks, festivals, or in travel scenes, markets, etc., I usually don’t worry about it. But if I think I’ve made an image that will surely sell commercially, then I’ll try for a release.

If you think that your pictures might be commercially used, make the effort to get a release, and be prepared to give something for that permission. A thank-you print or prints, a small donation or payment, etc., is considered fair price for the permission to use their likeness “forever.” It may not be required, but it’s only fair if they ask for something in return.
