Event Photography - Photo Release/Consent
When you hire an event photographer to “shoot” your event, there is a chance someone may be photographed who does not want their photo displayed publicly (IE: on social media or on a website). This may be considered as a breach of privacy.
To protect yourself against a (potentially costly) conflict, I suggest displaying some sort of photo release/consent. You can have something printed in your brochure, on the registration form, or something as simple as a sign saying “By attending this event, you are allowing us to use any photographs taken of you in any future <insert company name> publications”. If your event includes children, I recommend having a parent or guardian sign a photo release/consent form.
This being said, non commercial photography in a public space does not require consent.
