Photographing individuals and using individual images from surveillance videotapes involve the protection, conflict and balance between the right to privacy and freedom of the press. Domestic academia has presented viewpoints from diffenent comparative law perspectives. However, few of them derive from the views of international human rights law. This essay, therefore, focuses on judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, and offers different approaches of analyses on how to balance the two rights. This essay includes five parts. The first part compares rules of rights between the European Convention on Human Rights and the Taiwanese Constitution to provide a basis for discussions on individual cases. Secondly, it provides analyses on "Von Hannover", which focuses on balancing private life and freedom of the press. The third part further examines "Peck", reviewing the method and limitations governing the use of individal images by administrative authorities and the media. The fourth part probes into Taiwanese laws, and offers suggestions for amendments. The last part provides conclusions. It is argued that, because there has been no particular provision in the Taiwanese Constitution to protect the right to privacy, the protection of this field in Taiwan falls behind that of the European Convention on Human Rights. Therefore, it is suggested that future constitutional amendments should include the right to privacy. This essay also argues that, in taking the two judgments examined as models, Taiwanese laws can be changed or inserted to confirm the government's positive obligation to protect privacy, direct the ways of media management laws, extend the powers of the National Communication Commission, provide the system of injunction and clarify the ambit of the right to privacy.
