I'd say it's that way in very few cases. It's not reasonable to expect no pictures of you ending online if you take part in a public event. If you just happen to have your face on an otherwise (i.e. not because of your presence in it) very interesting photo, it's entirely unreasonable to expect the photographer to not publish it. Having said that, of course you may ask for it, and a friendly photographer might grant your wish and not publish such photos. Still I'd say the responsibility for doing this is very much on the person who doesn't want to be in published photos. There is no such thing as an absolute right to not have your face in a published photo, much less a right to be asked beforehand. Sami
