Travel & Humanitarian Photos
The debate about photography in public places continues in the UK and it seems to me, through anecdotal evidence, that the perceived level of suspicion of photographers shooting in public places is, if anything, increasing. Thank goodness then for Austin Mitchell and the common-sense Early Day Motion that he’s raising in Parliament.
It’s reassuring to hear that photographers have such a level-headed champion in the halls of power and refreshing to hear a down-to-earth approach that overcomes the argument of the reactionary and alarmist voices. We all have a right to photograph in public places without being harassed and it if it’s true that photographers are increasingly being interrupted, quizzed, questioned and bothered then that’s something that we should all be worried about.
