When cameras were film based, sharing pictures involved physically transferring a printed photograph. But with the advent of the Internet and cell phones that act as digital cameras, it is now both possible and normal for people to instantly click and share photos.
With these instantaneous sharing abilities, a question begs to be asked and answered: is there etiquette for online picture sharing? GiftWorksPlus has the answer. Yes! There is etiquette and it matters.
When sharing pictures, don’t commit a digital faux pas. In today’s society, many people do not mind their photographs being taken and posted to the Internet. On the flip side, there are plenty of people who do not want their photographs – or those of their children – shared online.
If you prefer not to have your family’s pictures posted online, be sure to speak up. At events where photographs are likely to be taken, be sure to mention whether or not you want to be in the pictures and whether or not you want the photographs to be posted. Then, be vigilant to step out of camera shots where you may be captured in the frame.
For those taking photographs, indicate to those present if you plan to post your pictures online. Offer people the opportunity to get out of the shots or to not be tagged in published shots. Be open to creative solutions – instead of including faces, maybe get backs of heads or a silhouette instead. Finally, when posting pictures, do not post names of children and only tag parents if they want to be tagged.
While sharing pictures online may become uncomfortable or annoying, framed photos are almost always welcome!
