Is it unreasonable to take pictures of strangers in foreign countries?

Is it possible for strangers to take photos of each other and keep them for themselves when they are abroad?

——————————————————————————————

Not everyone can take pictures of each other at will. Some scenic spots in some countries (religious reasons, lightning protection, etc. , destruction of cultural relics and natural resources, for copyright and cultural relics safety reasons, etc. ), you can't take pictures of people, but you may also take pictures of things banned in other countries, so it depends. Being able to take pictures has not been opposed by photographers, so it is natural to keep your own photos. If the photographer also wants it, I believe that the photographer will take the initiative to give it (not the original, of course, for example, after asking for the other party's email).

Isn't this a violation of human rights?

——————————————————————————————

As long as the location allows taking pictures, it will not infringe on human rights, and at most it will infringe on the right to portrait, depending on what the photographer does with the photos.

Why does this "photographer" take photos as soon as he sees these foreigners, and then leave his own photos?

——————————————————————————————

You should ask the photographer about this. We don't know what his motives are. Maybe those foreigners are very representative of foreigners. Maybe one of them has a beautiful woman who attracts photographers? ..... is unknown.

The question of leaving photos is in the second answer.

Does he already know that his behavior will not be opposed or even dissatisfied?

—————————————————————————————

I think this should be a very experienced photographer. He has professional inspiration and prediction. Besides, China people are very popular abroad now (even terrorists are interested). Most foreigners look like China people, and they are very happy to take pictures of you.

Why is this happening?
