Photography Etiquette
By Megan • Oct 8th, 2007 • Category: News for Creatives (archives)Liz Masoner reports for About.com:
“Photography is all about taking pictures isn’t it? Actually, photography can be just as much about how you behave as the images you take. If you are rude or cause problems at an event you can lose your opportunity to take images there ever again, if you aren’t thrown out immediately. Photography is much like a choose your own adventure book. Each choice you are presented with leads to a variety of other situations. A large part of photography is knowing what choices to make in each situation.
- Do not block someone else’s view of the event
- Never be rude
- Do not put yourself or anyone else in danger by your actions
- Do not expect special treatment (it is wonderful to get backstage access but it is not a right)
- When in doubt if something is ok – ASK”
