Photography Ethics?
I am a single man, but have been around children all my life.
The area of photography I would like to specialize in is a self titled “essay” called “Everyday life of a child”
The problem I have is
1. How to approach parents and ask them if I could photograph their child as they play, do sports or just be themselves”
2. paying the child/or parent for photographing them.
Is it always necessary to compansate to take a picture,hoping that it will be published?
Other Questions: as a photographer do I have to get permission to photograph someone if I think the picture is “news worthy”
2. Are my First Amendment rights protected if I take a picture and then approached by the person and asked to delete the picture?
Can anyone shed light on this subject?
All answer are appreciated.
PS. No I am not a pervert,I don’t want to have s** with the people I photograph, but in today’s society how can I convey that to someone I have found interesting enough to put on film
Thank you
