Is it illegal to take pictures of others without permission?

Whether it is illegal to take photos of others without permission depends on the following factors:

1. Taking photos of others without their permission does not constitute infringement of portrait rights. If the parties strongly demand deletion, the requirements of the parties shall be met;

2. Without the consent of the parties, it is illegal to publish the photos of the parties to online communities and public platforms, whether for profit or not, as long as the parties advocate it.

Infringement of citizens' portrait rights is manifested in:

1. The act of using the portrait of the portrait owner without the consent of the portrait owner without hindrance and illegal reasons;

2. Making portraits of others without authorization, creating and possessing portraits of others without my consent.

Without the consent of the portrait owner, the following acts are reasonably implemented:

1. Use the public portrait of the portrait holder within the necessary scope of personal study, art appreciation, classroom teaching or scientific research;

2. In order to carry out news reports, it is inevitable to make, use and make public portraits of portrait owners;

3. In order to perform their duties according to law, state organs make, use and publicize portraits of portrait rights holders within the necessary scope;

4. In order to show the specific public environment, it is inevitable to make, use and publicize the portrait of the portrait owner;

5. Other acts of making, using or publicizing portraits in order to safeguard public interests or the legitimate rights and interests of portrait owners.

To sum up, it is an infringement to shoot and post on the Internet without my consent. The photographer can ask the photographer to delete the photo.
