Is it wrong for a caregiver to report a medical issue by a photo?

Hi Anon,
Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community! First of all, are you the caregiver? What exactly is the circumstance so I can help you better?
If you or someone else is taking a picture of a person, then by law that individual being photographed would need to give consent for the picture to be taken and shared.
If you take a photo of someone without consent, the photographer would be held liable in a civil action if he or she takes a photograph of a person and in doing so violates that person’s right of privacy.
You should have a basic understanding of the laws of the jurisdiction where you wish to photograph.
I'd suggest seeking legal counsel.
Let me know some more details so I can help you further.
Will you keep me updated?
Best,
Kristin
