Practical Photography

After yesterdays article I felt I should respond! Photographers should respect the law, the law has been put in place to protect the innocent (although some would agree 14 and 15 year olds aren’t so innocent). The reason these laws have been put in place is because of people abusing these rights.

I don’t see it as an infringement on my rights that laws are protecting other people, not every one means well and children are vulnerable we as photographers should support the government that we protect youths from malicious people.

If it means we cannot take as many ad hoc images then that is the price we will have to pay to protect children. It is selfish to think of a loss of revenue rather than young lives being saved and protected.

You can still take great pictures without using children and if you have to go to the trouble of getting permission to use the images.
