The legality of Street Photography

While this may be old news, it is nonetheless interesting to those involved in street photography. Do photographers infringe upon the rights of their subjects when photographing them without consent? According to the court case which ensued after Philip-Lorca diCorcia snapped an unsuspecting and unwilling retired diamond merchant (pictured below), the answer is no.

Head No. 13, 2000

As this photo demonstrates, often the best results are born of serendipity; chance and unstaged. Read more about the lawsuit here.
