Taking Photographs in Public Spaces Dos and Donts

Taking Photographs in Public dos and donts

We live in a very cautious society where are people are quick to tell you what you cannot do. Generally you can take photos in public spaces, providing it is for personal not commercial use. Railway Stations are semi public spaces and slightly different rules apply

Tableau restaged photos and Works of Art

What we now call Tableau is a form of what 19th Century entertainers would have called Tableau Vivant. Paintings or historical moments were created as fair sideshows or stage shows. Costumed actors with props would recreate the composition and freeze for on lookers. It was an attempt to bring art to everyday people in a time before mass photography or mass colour reproductions.


Street entertainers, costumed, painted and posed 'frozen' in Covent Garden, the street market in Barcelona or a million other locations are the direct descendants of this tradition.
