Hello dear Realists,

I'm preparing a new blog post about photographic consent, ethics and privacy in this brave new technological world.

I would really appreciate your answers to a few questions, so I'm running my first poll here.

Hopefully these questions will make you reflect on things you may have not considered before.

Needless to say, this is a judgement-free zone and I hope you will answer candidly. I’m just very curious about what other people’s attitudes are regarding photography and consent.

Ready? Here we go – six questions for you:

PART 1: Strangers

Question 1/6:

Question 2/6:

PART 2: Family & Friends

(By the way, by “family” I mean parents, siblings, spouses and children especially)

Question 3/6:

Question 4/6:

Part 3: Policies

Question 5/6:

Question 6/6:

Thank you so much!

I look forward to reading your answers – and sharing next week’s post with you.

Elena
