It is clearly their prerogative how to present themselves as it is the photographers prerogative to capture the image presented. That is not to suggest that one shouldn't be polite or to donate when capturing an image of a noteworthy individual where they are the principal subject of an image, nor does it mean that that individual has to perform, pose or otherwise behave in a way that continues to make the image attractive either. However, my basic take on this is that for individuals, capturing images of their Camino for non-commercial purposes in public places is perfectly legal, and cannot be prevented. Then, as notes, there are the complications of whether someone is newsworthy, increasing restrictions in some country's anti-terrorist laws, etc. Most of that is done without any expectation of commercial reward on the part of the individuals who use these tools to publish their holiday snaps etc. The other great game-changer would be the internet, and the growth of applications that allow us to share almost anything with almost anyone. It certainly has been clear for some time that this applies for commercial use of images, although I know of at least one case in Australia where the individual was unable to prevent use of his image in an advertising campaign. Should he act in such a way again the police will now be able to act promptly against him.Ĭlick to expand.It would be interesting to see how far this has moved. The police had urged my friend to lay the charge as this bagpipe player was well known as being aggressive to pilgrims, none of whom had ever laid a charge, therefore the police were powerless to act against him.īesides receiving a fine and having to pay the costs of the court this man's name is now on the penal register as a vicious, aggressive person. We went immediately to the police and laid a charge of assault which, when it went to court was successful. When my friend asked him why, the bagpipe player became aggressive, swore at my friend and knocked him to the ground with a vicious punch to the jaw. The bagpipe player stopped playing and turned his back to my friend. My friend said he would like to take a photo of him. As we approached the steps to go down to the Praza de Obradoiro in front of the cathedral we heard and saw a man dressed traditionally playing the bagpipes. Last week I walked into Santiago with a Spanish man whom I had met whilst walking.
