I don't think we need an IESG  statement, for either of these actions.

The implication of this is that a person who doesn't want to be photographed would face two situations: one in which the photographer approaches them and asks to take a picture, and one in which the photographer does not ask before taking the picture.

In the former case, the photographer's question may be unwelcome; your proposal would therefore require that all IETF attendees, whether they welcome such questions or not, be prepared to field them as many times as necessary during an IETF meeting.

In the latter case, the person who was photographed without consent would have to confront the photographer and request that their pictures be deleted; the photographer would be under no obligation to do so.   Presumably the photographer would now be on notice that subsequent pictures would be unwelcome; assuming good will on the part of the photographer, this requires the photographer to remember, by face, every person who has asked them not to take pictures of them.

Do you agree that this is what you are asking for?   Do you still believe that this is a reasonable way to address the problem?

Professional photographers at most events ask before taking photographs of individuals or small groups of individuals,  as opposed to pictures of the event at large. They do this as much as anything to get a good picture.  If theiir photography is too disruptive, I would dispense with the photographer.
