Image from www.sheknows.comWe carry cameras with us everywhere- from small digital cyber shots to smart phone applications, we can capture anything at nearly any time. And in a society that is visually-driven, it can be hard to draw the line between privacy and public. Here are some pieces of the ‘bigger etiquette picture:’
- Are pictures allowed? Check to see if you can take photographs. Some historical places and churches have stiff rules about photographs and you might risk getting in trouble.
- Out takes: Never take pictures near or in dressing rooms, near cash wraps or where sensitive information might be displayed, or near any other places that could be seen as incriminating.
- Do not block people: If you are in a public place, such as a concert, make sure your photographs don’t obstruct the view for other people.
- Ask permission: If you are taking pictures that include strangers, you should certainly ask their permission. If not before, be sure to show them the photograph and ask their permission to keep it.
- Post Protection: Prior to uploading photos of others on your computer to share with the world, be sure to get permission from the other people in the pictures. It is not appropriate for them to find out their embarrassing photos from college have been shared with the world without their consent. If you question anything, wait.
