As a photographer and filmmaker, I comply strictly with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). In accordance with Art. 6 EU GDPR, taking and using photographs is permissible when necessary for fulfilling a contract with the depicted person — meaning for events with a manageable guest count such as weddings or private celebrations, you need not worry.

For public events and press reportages, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR applies based on legitimate interests, provided the fundamental rights of attendees are respected.

In the sense of weighing interests, that article says I may lawfully process a digital photograph where the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller (that is, me) or of a third party, provided the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned (that is, of the people photographed) are not infringed —

In other words: if I act on a commission, or out of my own artistic or documentary interest, I can in theory usually justify it under that article — but with a question this difficult, safety demands a case-by-case assessment every time, and it cannot be answered in general.

Individual portraits intended for publication and photos of minors always require advance written consent. When photographing at events, attendees should be informed beforehand, for instance via visible venue signage.

For corporate events, it is the organizer’s responsibility to inform attendees through clear notices and provide consent options.

Event organizers should notify all participants via signs that photography is taking place. Guests who do not wish to be photographed can easily be designated, e.g. using a colored lapel sticker.

Photos of children are taken exclusively with prior parental consent.

The interests of the people depicted usually outweigh mine and yours as the organizer.
