The current discussion on filming graduations has raised an additional
question for me.
I was in London last summer and someone took my photo as I sat in coffee
shop window. I was wondering if the photographer needed to obtain my
permission and if I had any redress. For example, someone sitting inside
a cafe is not out on the street or attending a public event, which would
indicate that they have some measure of privacy. I can see the flip side
of this argument, where the photographer might argue that when someone
leaves their home they have entered the "public domain".
I would be interested in people's views on the matter.
Best,
Lawrence
