I could only see one reference to GDPR in the forum and the post is about how to comply with the regulation if you operate a business.

Has anyone any thoughts or information on how it will affect photographers who shoot only for stock?  I am referring to the photograph now being considered part of personal data.

How will you be able to take photographs in the street, or events where there are hundreds of people.  It's impractical to get written permission from everyone who might be in a shot.

How can the stock agencies handle "Editorial"?

The regulation comes into force in a month or so and it looks as if photography is going to get a whole lot more difficult.

Thanks

Tom
