The idea behind PhotoConsent

As a photographer I have since the personal data regulation entered into force in 2018 spent a lot of time getting to grips with it with consent for photography. I deliver images to businesses, and my customers expect me to live up to GDPR legislation.

Since it is extensive to catch up and organize consents, from the ones I photograph, I developed a tool to easily obtain and archive consent under the law.

My experience is that all of those I photograph accept the consent without reservation. Some of course have questions, so I always review the consent of them. My customers greatly appreciate that I take this responsibility and also obtain consent for their behalf. At the same time, it signals that I have order in the cases. Customers pay for the service, and over the last 12 months I have collected about 600 consents for photography.

Following inquiries from many photographers, I have in collaboration with a web agency and a law firm have completed PhotoConsent, so that all photographers can use it and thus get proper control of it with consents for photography.
