Have you been prevented from photographing children?

logo Along with terrorism, child protection is one of the main justifications for the restriction of citizen photography today.

As a result, children are growing up without photos of their football matches or school events; photographers are unable to take spontaneous snaps of kids playing in the streets.

We are documenting this worrying phenomenon. Have you been told you can’t photograph your kids in a park? Do you have trouble covering kids’ events for a local paper? Does your sports club require registration for people to take photos?
