Public photography

[Danthus]

I am photographing an event in May.

Some of the events will be in public, on the street, some will be in venues, not all will be ticketed.

What are the rules regarding photographing people at the events?

Are they still relevant, the articles are a few years old.

Some of the images will be of attendees but wandering around in public spaces.

Some images will be of attendees at ticketed events but are in public spaces.

Some images will be of people in venues at ticketed events.

Sorry, it is a commercial event yes, but I will be photographing it free of charge.

I will be working for the organiser.

Then really you need to check with them about their ticket terms and conditions. Most events will/should have conditions to the effect of "by purchasing this ticket and attending the event you agree to have your image used to publicise the event" etc.

Whether you're charging or not is irrelevant, but the difficult one will be your first scenario - ticketed customers wandering public areas - as it'll be difficult to judge who's a customer and who's not unless you remember them!

Pretty much as I thought to be honest.

The awkward one as you say is the wandering around in public.
