The images published on the internet must be originals and mustn’t include situations and/or people who haven’t given their permission for the images to be published. To read more about what the Spanish law says about this topic click here. In few words, the law tries to avoid that the images of anonymous people (excluding the rich and famous) are recognizable, reproduced or published without their consent. The right of publication can only be given by the person photographed. Therefore, we must ALWAYS obtain authorization to be photographed from the person that is in front of your lens (before taking the photograph). Also, permission must be given to reproduce the image or publish it. If we don’t do this, we are violating their right to their image and breaking the law. Because taking, reproducing and publishing are three different acts, a person could be authorized to take a photo, but not to reproduce or publish it. For this reason, it’s necessary to obtain the authorization for all three things.
