Can someone take a photo of you in a private place and post it onto an online portfolio on the web without your permission?

Show me on the bear where he touched you.

 

[yhack]

No. Maybe yes.

I think you can request it taken down.

 

[dfarrall]

Depends, if the 'private place' allows photography then yes, or if they were stood in public grounds.

A friends band played at a Pub, and some chump they dont like took photos of the band in and out of the pub and posted them online to add to his portfolio, despite not asking for permission and several requests to remove them they are still there

Surely it being called a public house, it's not a private place.

The European Convention on Human Rights does provide the right to privacy in private life. The result is a certain vagueness. Photographing someone in a public place is not an invasion of privacy. Whether the subject is happy about being photographed or not doesn't matter, there is nothing they can do about it.
If someone is photographed in a private place without permission, even when the photographer is within a public area, then it does become an invasion of privacy.

reading the above I think I need to determine if a pub is a private of public place?

but what about if the band play in a room that you have to pay entry to? then its not really public?

Pub = Private Place since when?

 

[anything I don't mind]

the answer is yes, someone CAN take a picture of you in a private place, if you let them get away with it. Once they have the picture they CAN upload it to where ever they want.

IT depends on how you define a private place. AS they are not allowed to take pictures that might be considered voyeurism. But i dobut you meant that.

A pub and outside isn't a private place.

Is a PUBlic house a public or private place.

Difficult question.

But presumably it had public access for this guy to get in and take said photos.

Thread needs closing.

In March 2006, a law was introduced to forbid smoking in all enclosed public places...

From wiki. Implies a pub is indeed an enclosed public place.

I think if you're in a band playing in a pub, then you can't and shouldn't be surprised or complain when people take pictures of you.

It doesn't really matter if they like him or not.
