Digital photography

Very nice. Something about double exposures in warm light just seems extra-summery.

Cheers.
Though I admit I have the white balance on my Nikon shifted to A1 most of the time,
and even did some moderate split toning (warming highlights) on this image.

Put some of my prints up fo sellz -

Is anybody from Spain in this thread / somebody who knows about laws there concearning photographing people in public?

In Spain, all rights to your image are yours. Which means photographers need to get consent from subjects - although this doesn't have to be written down: if they smile into the camera, that's consent (being aware and acquiescing in the photo being taken, basically , is consenting).

There are exceptions to this:

• Taking a photo, in public, of a public official/public figure/someone engaged in a 'notorious' profession doesn't require consent
  
• Taking a photo of an event or occurrence to which the photographed person is merely an accessory
  
  

These exceptions, as I understand it, are intended to carve out a space for photojournalism (in which street photography can exist as well - but more Gary Winogrand than Bruce Gilden, if you see what I mean).

Complicating things further, you don't need permission from people who happen to be in your picture if you're taking a photo of a building. But you may need permission from the building's owner if it's something iconic and not publicly owned.

PS - this is all for Photography with a capital P. For 'mere photos' (ie snapshots) I think you're generally fine.

PPS I haven't lived in Spain for a long time, if anyone is more up-to-date than me I'll happily defer to them.

Thank you, this helps somewhat.

Bloody hell.

You're somewhat welcome ;)

I've just remembered there was a court case involving a street photographer whose book was allowed on artistic grounds, but I can't find it on google so I'm unsure if it was in Spain or France - given the two have similar rules I may have misremembered the book as being Spanish when it was actually French.

Here's a column from Spanish broadcaster ABC specifically on street photography - http://www.abc.es/tecnologia/electronica-fotografia/20130721/abci-frontera-legal-fotografia-201307181702.html

It acknowledges that street photography specifically is legally ambiguous in a way that documentary photography isn't, but suggests you can get away with an artistic expression defence if challenged.

That's why I suggest that Spanish law favours Winogrand's style more than than Gilden's style - Gilden would be hard pressed to say his photos are of anyone other than the subject he's just got up close and personal with and flash-gunned. Winogrand's photos are of people existing within a context, generally, even if that context is just nice light or interesting geometry - that fits in the 'occurrence' exception (the Spanish is 'acaecimiento', which is literally just stuff that happens - it doesn't have to have any socio-cultural importance to count).

I was just about considering to leave my actual world(work) of web development and go back back to the motorcycles one, and now I got an email asking me back in to photography...
Life is strange, so let's get stoned!!

Hi Marco
Its more than 3 years ago that you contacted us
and you may well be fully represented in Japan
and this offer may not be of interest to you at all.
However we have a project that we may be able to involve you with.
It is only a small job, (SNS) but it is with a big client.
We have just managed to get our toe in the door,
and this is just the beginning.
We would hope to work with you.
The client is a Japanese electronics maker
and the products are watches.
We want to approach the project in unexpected interesting ways
(but we still have to photograph watches)
Your asthetic and thoughful approach could be a great element in the project.
Your pictures are profound
If you are interested to hear more about this
could you please reply to this mail
so we can talk more.
Hope to hear back from you
Best regards

NQ.
