Event photography is fun, but ignoring etiquette can cause problems. This article explains photography and sharing manners.
Photography Etiquette
Ask Permission
When photographing strangers, ask permission first. For children, parental consent is especially important.
Respect No-Photography Zones
Some venues prohibit photography in certain areas. Check signs and announcements carefully.
Don't Block Other Attendees
In pursuit of great shots, don't block others' views or pathways.
Sharing Etiquette
Get Consent Before Sharing
When posting photos with others on social media, get their permission first. Pay special attention to:
- Photos where faces are clearly visible
- Drunk or sleeping photos
- Embarrassing poses
- Photos with children
Mind Location Data
Photos may contain location information. If you don't want places like home or school identified, remove location data before sharing.
PicTomo automatically removes location data, so this is handled.
Set Appropriate Privacy Settings
When sharing on social media, consider limiting visibility to "friends only." PicTomo's password protection shares only with relevant people.
Preventing Problems
Establish Rules Beforehand
Communicate photography and sharing rules in event announcements to prevent issues.
- Photography OK/NG rules
- Social media posting OK/NG rules
- Limited sharing destinations (PicTomo only, etc.)
Respect Those Who Decline
Some people don't want to be photographed or have photos shared. Respect their wishes without pressure.
Summary
Enjoy photography and sharing while respecting etiquette. PicTomo's password protection and location removal features enable worry-free photo sharing.
