Congratulations Shotokan101. Do we need the permission of the 'people' in our shots?

Actually, my very first interpretation of 'people' had no people in the shot

I considered a beach scene covered in a litter, with the title 'people'.

I think it could be used to show how 'people' have ruined the planet

...regarding permission - pretty sure that you don't for this sort of stuff

Is it legal to take photos of people without asking? | PhotoRights.org
