Opinions on creepshot photography. Is it legal? Should it be? Is it ethical?
Equivalent of snapshits and its in public area, perfectly legal and ethical
people getting mad over "creepshots" which are in reality just shots of people in open public view is a great shibboleth of societal justice warriors
>>2919008
Haters will say it's photoshop
>>2919008
>Is it legal?
Not strictly speaking but it can probably be skewed into sexual assault if you're being particularly overt.
>Should it be?
Yeah. It's a public space. Plus, people who live in cities are usually filmed literally everywhere when they're out in public.
Toilet peeping and the like is not okay though.
>Is it ethical?
It's shitty and desperate and I don't understand how anybody gets off on it. I would say that it's unethical for the one taking the creepshots since even shitposting on 4chan would be a better use of his time than taking creepshots.
>>2919041
I could totally get off on that
>>2919042
Why? What's hot about some fat sweaty neckbeard with a camera in his trench coat taking shots of women in tights in public?
>>2919041
this.
It's honestly quite ridiculous what women get away with wearing while in public these days. They're practically naked. In fact, I would say some of these tight clothing are more sexually arousing than if they were just plain naked (most women are usually hotter clothed).
I'm not saying women deserved to be harassed or raped for what they wear, but their ass hanging out in public certainly doesn't have any expectation of privacy.
To me, creepshooting is like next level street. Shooting strangers on the street is already stressful enough without the specter of being branded a creeper looming over you. We just need a good photographer that will turn it into art and he or she will be the next big thing in street photography.

Reasonable expectation of privacy is the line in the sand in my country.
If a female walks around with her jugs out and I like it, I will photograph it.
Her boyfriend might not like it but that's another story.

Why do people not like being photographed?
Because they lose control over their appearance.
Once you have taken their picture they can't remove themselves from the public eye by walking somewhere private/covering themselves. Their image is now in your camera and you have the power to publish it. Now it's not them, it's you who can decide which angle of them, which facial expression, in which context, other people will experience.
If you're doing it flash-in-your-face style like Gilden or Cohen you are probably invading their personal space, too. Suddenly going near someone (and maybe blasting them with flash) is startling and no one likes being startled.
Also the photogs immediate reaction will probably be to back off/run away. This makes him look guilty of doing something shifty and reinforces the subject's suspicion that they have been violated in some way. Naturally any conversation with them will likely start off with them being hostile.
But if you stay and talk to them politely there's at least a chance that you can convince them that what you did was necessary for the photo and that the value of the photo is higher than that moment of them in control. I guess this is the harder way so not many people do it like this.
From what I've read here Eggy seems to have found a serviceable middleground. Notice that he doesn't suddenly go right next to people and take pictures from surprising angles. His camera sees only things that a person with good eyes standing there upright could see, too. Also he identifies himself if people approach him. This gives them a bit of control over their image back because now they have the option of suing him if he publishes them unlawfully.
>>2919197 contd.
Of course all this is thrown out the window if you want the lawbreaking/anticonventional part of your photos be part of your art concept (just like illegal graffiti is different from "proper" painting). With that justification you can always do what you want (but don't expect your contemporaries to agree with you).
One roastie's "creepshot" is another's Patrician celebration of the aesthetics of anatomy
YikYak users are often easily triggered by the suggestion that you took candid photos of qt girls.
I think people don't want to be held accountable for their appearance.

Interestingly, there was a recent case in Georgia where the Georgia Supreme Court actually ruled that even upskirt photos are legal if done in public.
Now, they ruled that way because, technically, there was no law against it, but for the time being it's legal in GA.

This. I think it's disgusting but I'd way rather have it be legal.
If there ever is an outrage against creepshooting I hope they just do like in Japan and Korea, where you can't disable the shutter click from phones so it's harder for creepshooters to hide. New laws that make street photography still harder would be a very shitty fallout.
>>2919466
my phone's "shutter" sound is impossible to disable. i always thought it was a weird that i couldn't disable it, but now it makes sense.
its an appreciation for a girls everyday sexual attraction in moments she doesn't intended to be. Maybe she doesnt know her bra sticks out that much under her shirt, maybe she knows how good her ass looks in yoga pants but doesnt realize just how much others are looking at her
I say her because most shots are of girls but people take ones of guys as well

In Australia it's illegal - actually, really, illegal - to take photos specifically of someones genitals or breasts, or photos for sexual gratification, without the owners permission.
Upskirts and downblouses are easy to prove on the spot, but sexual gratification is a lot more fuzzy. Until you upload them in that context, which you cunts always do.
Also: It's creepy as fuck. And precisely why the public feel the irrational need to be paranoid assholes to almost all male photographers.
>>2919924
I'm disgusted in general, by people who want others to stop liking what they don't like. DON'T USE FLASH! DON'T GET CLOSE! DON'T DO THIS! DON'T DO THAT! ONLY MY DEFINITION OF PHOTOGRAPHY IS TRUE!
I personally wouldn't do it, but at the end of the day I recognize that it's just a person getting the shot in a public place.
>>2919954
It's no so much 'stop doing what I don't like' as it is 'stop doing one of the main things that causes a stigma and ruins it for everybody else'. Pardon the run on sentence

girls now exactly when their ass looks sexy in yoga pants. generally most girls know very well how they look. if a girl says 'I dont have a very good XYZ feature' then trust her, she doesn't indeed. and vice versa.
>>2919008
but this does not mean one may intemidate the private space of a girl in puplic by isolating her or parts of her on a picture.
let me elaborate why: as often in law this a question of conflicting rights and which of these are to valuable as more important than the other.
1.) every person has the right to express artistic creation in puplic space.
2.) every person has the right to decide if a picture of him/her may be made or not.
now there is a quite simple and logical principle: if the useage of one of the conflicting rights does not completely contradict the other, the conflicting right is the more important.
which means: in case somebody uses right 1.), is there a way 2.) can still be applicaple? ... No, of course not. The moment you shot the pic the right of deciding about it is void.
but in case somebody insist on right 2.), is there a way 1.) can still be applicable? ... Yes, absolutely. actually there are many ways. the artist can ask for permission beforehand. the artist can choose not to isolate one person. if needed the artist can engage a model and place her in public. etc. etc. ...
therefore the right to decide about being pictured or not is as to be valued higher.

There is no such thing as "private space" when you're in public, I could have the camera to my face and frame a picture of you in public and you could be wearing a burkini or a bikini, there isn't shit you can do about it, because you're in public.

Seen that video before and in all pretty good example of the problems one would face.
The dude filming did nothing illegal/wrong.
People are weird about shit like this for some damn reason, it's ok to see it with your own eyes and drool over a young girls pussy but it's not ok to film it? It's not his fault she's basically in underwear in the middle of the street what his eyes can see his camera can also see.
Don't like being watched by randoms on the street, then either don't go to the street or don't attract attention to yourself.
>>2925670
I don't know why they get called social justice warriors when what they do had nothing to do with social justice and everything to do with being nosey, interfering, busybodies, trying to get one over a complete stranger for no other reason than that they think they can.
Oh and they're usually Americans, I don't recall seeing or hearing of this sort of thing anywhere else.
>>2919008
It's creepy, but that girl's looking for attention dressing like that. I don't think it unethical or that it should be illegal, but I don't really like it either.
>>2919008
>Is it legal?
With few exceptions, yes (at least in civilized countries).
>Should it be?
With the exception of extremely invasive versions (which are more "stalker" than "creepshot"), yes. Not for the value of creepshot photography, but for the value of other photography.
>Is it ethical?
If someone is doing it for their own enjoyment and isn't invading someone's privacy, ethics don't normally come into it. No reasonable person would call jerking it thinking of some chick as unethical, so taking photos to assist that isn't much different. If you're invading someone's privacy or sharing on 4chan, though, that gets into unethical territory.
>>2926108
Can you really have a discussion on ethics of something that causes no harm to anyone?

I think it's retarded and spineless. That said, I do think of it in much the same terms as copyright: You have to take steps to protect your "privacy"in public if you want others to respect it. If you don't want people looking, cover your shit up. It's a pretty simple concept.
>>2919083

>>2919008
her ass is shoop'd you idiots
you can shoot pics and video of anything in public.
if people decide to dress a certain way in public, they have made that decision themselves, and it should not have an impact on your right to capture images in public.
rationale and logic say it should be legal. let people be responsible for their own actions. They can decide to have sex in public, and I can decide to record them. if they don't want to be seen having sex, they shouldn't do it in public.
>>2927127
Actually, you can't. There are laws against up skirt/down blouse shots in a lot of places, plus how you use said shots might require documentation that you won't have.

We are presuming the photographer was aiming for the butt. Perhaps he shot from the hip and was aiming for her hair (trichophilia).
Reasonable expectation of privacy is the key in my opinion. There's a big difference between a sneaky snapshit of a bird in a short skirt on a windy day and setting up hidden cameras in a gym shower room.
If you like taking photos of people in the public check out the laws in your country. Also this:

>>2927396
Taking pictures of people is generally fine. If they made a choice to wear revealing clothes, that's on them and not on you. But when you're sneaking your camera or selfie stick or whatever under skirts, you're crossing the line. Public space does not mean that everyone becomes public property and loses their rights, and you have no business in people's private parts.

I've gotten about 50 pictures or so for the photo book and quite a few more that still need processing. I should probably write something for an introduction. Something about the beauty of the shape of the female form to make a pretense of art, at least. What do you guys think?
>>2927386
As far as I know, being pathetic thirsty and unacceptable behaviors are not illegal.

If i were this chick I would love the attention
Creepshots arent inhertly illegal here how-

Do you have explicit written permission?
I'm calling the cops, no you can't leave I am playing you under citizens arrest
>>2928953
Where is here?
>>2928953
That would require the property owner to file a complaint of you trespassing for taking pictures, even so, the pictures themselves were not an illegal act they were simply the act that took your presence in private property from welcome to unwelcome, and even then, police would laugh at you when you call them to file a complaint.
Its okay, OP. That ass isn't real. If it were, then damn, lay off the squats.
What I do is art. I will fight for my legal right to shoot my style.
Which one of you jokers did this? Was catching yourself in the mirror part of your "genius" plan?

They hate it so much they usually flash a bit more skin while the non psychopathic attractive females are noticing you not noticing/ignoring them. It can backfire though and they all think you are gay.
Girls dress up, wear makeup and flash their assets not for us guys but to outdo other girls. Females are incredibly competative, we just don't see it because it appears they all get along so well.

Depends on your countries laws. Like in Scotland that would be illegal. (Photo of a person on private property without consent.)

Personally I think that no it shouldn't be, you fucking creep.
Is it ethical?
No. Just think of the person who has their image uploaded to the internet and shared around. The publics perception (even if the subject was totally unaware.) of those people is that they are sluts and can be very damaging.
