I am seeking advice about photographing visitors at the Science Center of 
Iowa!  We do NOT use a professional photographer - this would be our staff 
taking photographs of visitors and using those photos for internally-created 
promotional pieces.

To other institutions:
What is your policy for photographing both individual visitors and groups?
   Do you automatically assume consent from everyone inside the building?
   Do you ask groups to sign a consent form in advance of their visit?
   Does age of the person being photographed make a difference?
   What about at off-site events put on by your institution?

Please advise if you have any thoughts for me on this policy!  Thanks!
