    I have understood the new Swiss privacy law that came in 5(?) years ago as meaning that photographing strangers that are identifiable required their prior agreement. Is this not the case? has it been re-interpreted now? Such a requirement for prior agreement makes street photography effectively impossible. It becomes portraiture. Hiding faces might be our only option. ;-)

    • @ViewfinderMastery
      @ViewfinderMastery Před 3 měsíci

      It's so different from image to image. There's a lot of ways to photograph people whereby their identity isn't even seen. Leah has lots of examples of this in her portfolio. Add to that, the definition of "invading privacy" leaves some wiggle room in my opinion. I don't even agree with some of the suggestions on the Swiss gov't website, such as "use a telephoto lens to avoid invading a persons privacy..." (The decription of the law) doesn't seem so well through IMHO). 🤷‍♂
