About Amateur Photographer Rights WatchAmateur Photographer magazine reports and campaigns on photographer’s rights. We have been invited a number of times to the Home Office to advice on photographers concerns.
If you have being stopped whilst taking photos, or want to share the images you were taking when stopped, send us your story. We are dedicated to defending photographers rights, reporting and campaigning against injustices and areas of concern.
