It's not per se forbidden to take a photo of a public location, it's
even allowed to take the photo and to publish the photo, if a girl
randomly is on that photo, too. It is forbidden to provide a collection
of such photos to somebody else, who needs such photos for a porn
website. Now "research" isn't "porn", but subtleties could make it hard
to decide how to handle something like this. That something is public,
doesn't mean that privacy could be ignored.
