Film Photography Submission By: Daniel Pupius

On a recent visit to my parents in England I found my very first point-and-shoot, a Halina 160, a gift from my Grandma for my 5th birthday. It was all crusted up with battery acid, but still had a film in. I of course had it processed and was surprised to find six photos from our 1990 family trip to Venice.

The photos are bleached out, burnt, or double-exposed, but seem rather apropos in this era of Instagram and the burgeoning cult of lo-fi.

What IS the law in Paris? I'm going in March, and I shoot street. I asked a French friend of mine, and she said she's never heard of the no shooting people law. What I understood is it's against the law to publish photos and make money of a person's photo without their consent. I also know the Eiffel Tower light show is a copyright so no photos of that. Also, I'd love if we can meet up and go for a photo walk if you're available!

Unfortunately, your friend is mistaken. The French have a law regarding private life that prevents you from photographing anyone in public for any reason without his or her permission.

Hello, have you ever tried the Lubitel cameras? I have a chance to buy one, but I don't know if it's worth it!

Personally, no I have not.

Anyone out there who can share their experience with Lubitels in the comments?

35- foot camera that produces original film negatives six feet tall

I love this. Everything about it. Just when everyone thought digital was catching up to film rendering it obsolete… SIX FOOT NEGATIVE IN YOUR FACE. When you find a digital camera with that level of detail, shoot me an email.

Fun and extremely informative animated video about the right to photograph in public, featuring music by the Gregory Brothers and directed by actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Photographers: Know Your Rights (via the American Civil Liberties Union)

Your rights as a photographer:

When in public spaces where you are lawfully present you have the right to photograph anything that is in plain view. That includes pictures of federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police. Such photography is a form of public oversight over the government and is important in a free society.

When you are on private property, the property owner may set rules about the taking of photographs. If you disobey the property owner’s rules, they can order you off their property (and have you arrested for trespassing if you do not comply).

Police officers may not generally confiscate or demand to view your photographs or video without a warrant. If you are arrested, the contents of your phone may be scrutinized by the police, although their constitutional power to do so remains unsettled. In addition, it is possible that courts may approve the seizure of a camera in some circumstances if police have a reasonable, good-faith belief that it contains evidence of a crime by someone other than the police themselves (it is unsettled whether they still need a warrant to view them).

Police may not delete your photographs or video under any circumstances.

Police officers may legitimately order citizens to cease activities that are truly interfering with legitimate law enforcement operations. Professional officers, however, realize that such operations are subject to public scrutiny, including by citizens photographing them.

Note that the right to photograph does not give you a right to break any other laws. For example, if you are trespassing to take photographs, you may still be charged with trespass.

If you are stopped or detained for taking photographs:

Always remain polite and never physically resist a police officer.
If stopped for photography, the right question to ask is, “am I free to go?” If the officer says no, then you are being detained, something that under the law an officer cannot do without reasonable suspicion that you have or are about to commit a crime or are in the process of doing so. Until you ask to leave, your being stopped is considered voluntary under the law and is legal.
If you are detained, politely ask what crime you are suspected of committing, and remind the officer that taking photographs is your right under the First Amendment and does not constitute reasonable suspicion of criminal activity.

Personally, I found this to be particularly informative but I would like to stress that this ONLY APPLIES TO THE US. Virtually half of these are not valid in France and laws on photographing vary from country to country. Always check the policies of the country where you intend to photograph beforehand.
