Photos of events can be used to promote your group. But some poeple may not want their photos taken. What do you do about using photos of a large group?
First you tell the audience that a group photo might be used for publicity anywhere on the web.
Pre-event notice.
At one large (Toastmasters) event the published pre-event material said that pictures of the audience could be used in future publicuty and if we did not want to be photographed we should not attend and if we attended we were deemed to have consented.
Pre-Group Photo Annoncement
At a smaller club meeting where you all gather for a photo at the front of the room, you might need to cinform visitors that the photo will appear on a Facebook page.
If they don't want to be in the photo they can take the photo.
What about roaming photographers?
Roaming photographers might take pictures of individuals watchin the presentation. If I were a photographer I might suggest that those who do not want to be photographed should subtly raise their programme sheet or notebook to obscure their face,
Masks At A Fancy Dress Party
You could give out masks to those who want to remain anonymous. For example, you have a Xmas party with everybody raising glasses but one of your guests has privacy issues, or is Muslim, or teetotal, or the head of an organization and thinks it looks undignified. You can have masks available.
I discovered this by accident. I wore a black mask picked up with the fancy hats at a large party. When the photo came out I did look mysterious and sexy. But you had know idea who I was. So as prmotion the mask was a failure, but for concealing identity it worked perfectly.
I had been hoping to keep the mask, but the masks and hats were supplied by the organizers of another club and by individuals. However, when I saw that the mask concealed my identity, Irealised that it would have been useless to me as self-promotion.
