I was a steward for several years and had to deal with the pushy snappers at the Level. I got into trouble one year suggesting the Asians (Indian sub continent in the UK) seemed to be the worst, but from my experiences, they often ignored request to allow riders some privacy. This was before the current screened area came into use.
These guys just stuck a lens within inches of the girls and fired away, no respect at all. I've taken ride photos (posted here in the past) but they are usually random groups or posed for a request type photos. Some, I've never posted as they were of friends and yes, I've appeared myself in photos, even ones here......but not as the main subject, thankfully.
Be respectful and polite, take shots from a bystander position only and things may not get worse. Not very optimistic though.
