I agree with most points made. The key factors are:
- where was the picture taken? public or private place
- What does it tell you about the subject? Sensitive data, compromising
position
- How is the photo going to be used? In what context e.g. see the Adenji
case reference by Tim and Doreen.
There is not that much caselaw but the following guide and articles

Subject: Re: [data-protection] Photographs and DPA/Human Rights
From a human rights/privacy angle have a look at these judgments:-
Peck
http://www.echr.coe.int/Eng/Press/2003/jan/Peckjudeng.htm
Campbell
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/1d200304/ldjudgmt/jd040506/camp
be-1.htm
Both these cases look at people's expectations of privacy; and whether
they can have such expectations when they relate to activities in the
public arena.
