Do you need permission to take a picture of someone if you will not be able to recognize them?

Permission to take someone's picture

I think that if you are taking pictures of people, kinda like candid shots of ordinary people for photography purposes that you shouldn't have to ask the persons permission, because you don't know them, so you won't recognize them. Plus if you ask them it won't be a real natural picture.

  • By the way this is just my opinion, not a factual answer.
