Marriages in the UK should be in the public domain - a matter of public
record, but this does not extend, in my belief, to images of the couple.
Without referring to the law at all and drawing only on my ethical compass;
I think the artist should grant the wishes of the couple as it relates to a
celebration that they will want to remember as one of their happiest. The
artist will have other opportunities and more exhibitions where artistic
integrity is not breached by 'editing' and any ensuing anger should be
channelled into art!
With any luck this will be the couple's only 'opportunity' for a wedding
day!

Subject: [data-protection] photos in exhibitions
Can anyone help me with this one. We have a 'streets of croydon'photo
exhibition on at the moment and some of the photographers were commissioned
to take these photos. the proviso was that as far as was possible they get
the consent of whoever they took, which they said they had. anyway to cut
a long story short,a photo was taken of a couple who were recently married
and standing in front of the registry office, went to the exhibition and
were upset that their photo was included as they had no knowledge of it
being taken. it was taken down, but now the photographer is angry and
wants it put back up. i was wondering whether this is along the same lines
as the pharmacist taking the photo of the intruders as outlined in the
article printed in the sun. all thoughts appreciated.
