Re: Would you give permission for your childs pic to go public?
Well my business would take a real nosedive if I were unable to show kids' portraits in the shop- and I think there's more reason to be bothered by such local displays than global ones.
It's just people are scared by the scale of the internet. The worldwide availability of an image of a nameless child photographed in a possibly unknown location has a low risk or likelihood of being able to identify the child. In some owner-operated studio like ours in a small town, or a local rag (from any sized town) where they print the kids' names under the picture, the chance of being able to meet the child in a picture is that much higher.
Nobody has mentioned what the kids want, yet: I always ask them, as well. It's not happened yet, but I'm waiting for the day when a parent is happy for their child's image to be displayed but the child has other ideas...
