Practical Photography

Could this be the end of street photography?

Street photography is a dying art as if you snap a youth under the age of 15 you need permission to use the images from a parent or guardian.

This rule is obviously put in place to protect children, especially from paedophiles but is it going too far? The ad hoc images of street photography are taken on the spur of the moment, even as a youth may skate past a photographer can get an image. So then it would be very hard for the photographer to track down the individual and ask to get the contact for their parent or guardian and then get written consent to use the images.

This will probably mean the end of these journalistic and charismatic photographs that represent real streets, we will have to be subjected to staged images set up by modelling agencies and photographers to achieve a faux composition!

I think it is saddening that this style of photography should die out because the polititcians cannot tell the difference between a paedaphile and a well meaning photographer trying to make a living.
