I am sure this has been discussed before, and I know it may be a bit controversial. But I like to know what the folks on this forum think about it.
Do you guys think it is OK to post pictures of children online without their parents' explicit permission? I am obviously talking about normal pictures a photographer may take at a birthday party, wedding, etc. etc. If the pictures are from a portrait session, I understand that you would typically have a signed contract with your client that would give you permission to use the pictures as you wish for your promotional purposes. But when you take pictures at a party, you may again have a contract with the party host but likely not with the individual participants and guests. Of course this may be seen as an issue between the host and his/her guests, i.e., it should be the host responsibility to let their guests know that their pictures (and in particular, pictures of their children is what I have questions about) may be published online for the potog's promotional purposes. But do you still see any ethical issues or anything with that?
Thanks...
