Stolen shots....Is it fine?

That's true. It's not nice to steal shots from people. Before we do that we can tell them that at any time after getting their permission he will be getting some stolen or candid shots.

If it bothers you then better tell him up front in a very civil manner, just between the two of you, just tell him that you don't like what he is doing and he should put a stop immediately, your next action or steps to be taken would be based on how he or she reacts and what action he will do on he's part, so please do keep us informed friend cause the next advices you would be getting would be based on this, best of luck

yes, i think you should go up to this person and let them know that you don't feel comfortable with your picture being taken. she should understand that. i hate my picture being taken, too.

You can talk with him but be sure to gauge his mood. You can start by starting small talk ( about things that you know he is interested in) then later try to find a way to insert the issue of asking him why he is fond of taking stolen shots of people. Ask him for what purpose? You will never really understand his behavior unless you ask him.

if he bothers you, go ahead and tell him to stop it. he has no right to take pictures of people who do not want their pictures taken. you do not know where these pictures might end up.

I think you should tell him that this is not a right thing..

Yes my friend, you should confront and tell him not to, he should respect you for telling him, I am not happy having my photo taken.

I'm always conscious of how I look in the camera. For that I don't like stolen shots even if it's just for the spirit of fun. I am sure you can tell him off and be honest.

If it bothers you that much, maybe you should ask him to stop. You might also ask him why he does it.

If it makes you uncomfortable you definitely should speak to him. I don't like having my picture taken either. Any time someone invades your personal space you need to tell them to back up. The fact that you refer to his picture taking as 'stolen shots' shows how strong you feel about this. Tell him not to take anymore pictures of you.

I agree, it is kind of awkward for me when I take a picture and find out random people showed up in the picture! But, it doesn't bother me that I might be in random people's pictures. It probably should. But, I've never thought of it really.

Hello. For me, it is no big deal. I mean, taking stolen pictures. Sometimes I find it funny seeing myself in an awkward pose. But that's the problem, stolen shots captured the moments even when you are not in your best. Some people take it as an invasion of privacy. And they are somewhat right about it. However, if it is just for fun and there's nothing foul (other than taking your pictures without your permission) your co-workers intending to do with those pictures, let him be. But, if you really don't like the feeling of caught unguarded on camera, then better tell that co-worker to stop in a subtle way. He won't stop unless you really tell him that you don't feel comfortable with what he is doing. Goodluck to you.

What kind of shots are you talking about here? If you are talking about pictures, I tend to believe that when someone takes a picture of another person that the picture that has been taken is something that is the property of the person that took the picture. However, I also feel like people who've had their picture taken should be aware of the fact that there is a chance that their picture could be taken.

Please stop your Co-worker at any cost,it is a serious crime to invade other peoples privacy.

Hi Shav You need to make it very clear to this person that you do not give your consent to him to take your photo. Have a witness who can see and hear you tell him. If he continues, you then need to go to your supervisor or manager and explain that he is harassing you.

Yeah, you should confront him. It's impolite to take pictures of others without their permission. I guess he already knows that but you should remind him about not taking pictures of others because that's really a big "No, No" to other people. Tell him that it's not fine with you to take your pictures especially stolen shots.

of course it is not fine. If he take stolen shots of you, you should tell him to stop it. it is not nice when take shots of people without permissions.

hi.. i've done that before when i was in college i really enjoy taking stolen pictures at the same time my friend told me that it is not good. just tell to him/her is not good some them get mad and angry.

I do think you need to inform him that its not fine with you that he's taking stolen shots. He will surely understand you if you will say it in a nicer way. What you need to do especially that you are not that is that you need to approach him in a nicer way.

i don't like being shot in a stolen moment.. i really get angry even if it is my friend.. and if someone i am not close to will do it i will surely confront him or her.. it is my privacy moment so it is not appropriate to do it unless i was in a party or having fun that is fine but if not and i am doing something serious that should be stopped.. but that is me.. anyways it is really up to you if you think you cant take it anymore or you had enough then confront him..
