I'd say it's that way in very few cases.
It's not reasonable to expect no pictures of you ending online if you
take part in a public event. If you just happen to have your face on
an otherwise (i.e. not because of your presence in it) very
interesting photo, it's entirely unreasonable to expect the
photographer to not publish it.
Having said that, of course you may ask for it, and a friendly
photographer might grant your wish and not publish such photos. Still
I'd say the responsibility for doing this is very much on the person
who doesn't want to be in published photos. There is no such thing as
an absolute right to not have your face in a published photo, much
less a right to be asked beforehand.
