common sense should prevail - if requested to remove a photo,
politely oblige. Discussion around having a signal - such as a
badge - or a lanyard colour so that it can be removed. On one
hand, photography provides collateral. On the other, people have
a right to privacy. Signals such as lanyards or stickers may
ostracise people. Distinction between photos *of* people versus
photos that have people *in* them, where the focus is on someone
else. A short and sweet statement “please remove images if asked
to do so” - gives the organiser ultimate discretion. </span></p>
