We are still working how we’re going to be handling other peoples images here at CameraPlayForCouples.com. When you decide to give yourself to someone physically, you make that decision right there and then, for that person, for that time. Photos are different. Making a photograph carries with it a potential loss of control over whom you share yourself with and in what context.
What we’re aiming for is a policy for posting other people’s photos that is consensual, non-transactional, preserves (as much as possible) peoples’ control over context, while hoping to also preserve the structural integrity of this blog.
Some questions we’re considering:
What can be consider “fair game”?
When should we make contact first, a “FYI, we’ve linked to your blog.”
When should we get permission first?
And of course; what is off limits?
I don’t know that we’ll be able to develop any hard and fast policies. Sexuality and image making can encroach on all sorts of boundaries; sometimes in wonderful, assumption challenging ways, sometimes in uncomfortable and provocative ways, and sometimes in full-blown transgression.
