Photojournalist Asking You to Pay For Images of Yourself
Came across a "independent photojournalist" on my fyp who took images of a New York City pride event. When she posted them on instagram, a girl in the pictures asked her for the pictures of herself. The photographer says she wont without pay. The girl agrees and then when the photographer sends over the photos, the subject blocks her.
When I shoot events, especially not being commissioned, and public events at that, I always just send photos if people are in them and they ask for them if I/ the organization will be distributing them on social media or in marketing or for a project.
Not to debate the ethics of street photography as well but we as photographers, photojournalist, street photographers, etc. require using other people's likeness as subjects for our work. The only reason we are able to have careers and bodies of work is often of photographing subjects who do not always consent to being photographed. Nickle and diming people who didnt chose to be photographed by you but youre using for your work seems a bit off to me personally. Does anyone else have thoughts on this 😅
