I think she is just a sponsor girl, but even then... 10/10

Participants in any major event taking place in public are likely to get a bit of this - idiots getting in your face and being a nuisance. It was happening at the Tommy Robinson protest on Saturday.

If you do a ride, you know the score. Absolutely nothing changes re the law just because you choose to be naked in a public place and the Brighton organisers (in particular) need to get a grip. The level of ill feeling towards these rides is growing. A lady from one of the media outlets had her camera knocked from her hands in London by some moron riding who has been led to believe that you can do whatever you like if someone points a camera at you and you're not happy about it.

One of the cops policing the Robinson protest told me that the police no longer support WNBR in London. Hence no assistance at the Hyde Park (or any other) start this year.

Anyway...back to the naked ladies...

Most women I know would be both alarmed and distressed if a random man started snapping pictures of their boobs, even if they weren't naked. Especially so if they asked them not to. I would be pretty alarmed and distressed if someone I didn't know started following and repeatedly photographing me, in any situation. Of course there are exceptions - some people love to be photographed - but you can't assume that everyone you want to photograph won't be alarmed or distressed if you try to do so in an invasive, aggressive or discourteous way. Most photographers at these events are polite, discreet and respectful, and neither the police, the WNBR organisers nor the participants (mostly) have any problem with them.

If they have a problem being snapped topless or naked in public during the ride then they shouldn’t be participating. If they are naked in public then anyone can take pics at any time as much they want. End of story

Harassment Act 1977
"prohibits a person from pursuing "a course of conduct" which "amounts to harassment of another" and which "he knows or ought to know amounts to harassment of the other". A person is taken to know that conduct is harassment if "a reasonable person in possession of the same information would think the course of conduct amounted to harassment of the other"

"This is the interpretation section. "Harassing" is defined (non-exclusively) as including "alarming" or "causing distress"."

So yeah, its an objective test. Meaning that they look at whether an ordinary person would know that what he is doing is harassing the other person.
That's where things like the scenario come into play (e.g its a publicity event, and these people are naked to attract attention). And other things like the person communicating to the photographer that they are being harassed by them.

So I think the answer is that it can be a harassment if the person says no, and they continue to do it, even in an event like wnbr.

I've always been polite, discrete, respectful, chatted to as many of the riders as possible, have got to know many of them from this and other non-nude events, will never snap anyone if they're not happy with that, am always willing to show anyone the snaps I've just taken, and have over the years done my best to get decent quality non-pervy images which I hope those taking part will like and which will help show the rides in a favourable light and promote the causes they support.

For all that, and notwithstanding the fact that many of my pictures have been used over the years by various official WNBR and media sources, I still got treated like a pervert and likely sex offender in Brighton last year by man-hating feminazis. Which is why I gave up on it. There are plenty of other things to do where you don't get treated like something people stepped in. The relentless brainwashing of participants that all snappers are wrong 'uns (very evident last year with even the press being refused shots) is hardly going to further the causes of WNBR Brighton.

Fair play to the riders, they're always good sports and the 2014 event sums up just how good things can be without the constant toxic interference of the ultra feminist marshals. At both Old Steine and Black Rock beach they were pretty much absent...and the pictures from those two spots that year speak for themselves.
