  • Very few countries require consent in public and some that do, like France, make exceptions for art and other non-commercial photos.

    But, we’re not talking about some commercial photographer taking photos in public. We’re talking about an NGO who wants to snap photos anytime while people are doing their work. It’s absurd to think they can stop everyone every time to get some snaps.

    Trust me it’s not worth having that one or two people working with their special requirements. A blanket waiver saves tons of time and hassle.





  • This is just so they can take photos and video of volunteers and they don’t have to get releases from each and every person every time someone snaps a photo. Without this waiver, getting photos and video would be a pain in the ass and take up some of every volunteer’s time.

    Think about it. You’re asking them to jump through extra hoops every time you’re volunteering. Now, they have to track who signed the waiver and who didn’t. They can’t have staff or volunteers just snap photos whenever they have time. Now, they have to plan every shoot. This costs time and money.

    It’s probably really is better for them to just not have people volunteering who don’t want their face on a flyer or to be seen in a commercial or training video.
