Legal Advice For Photographers
Ippolito Lawyers can provide legal advice to photographers.
We recognise the photographic industry as a special area of the commercial law we practise.
We provide a service that allows photographers to get on with what they do best (taking photos!), whilst we take care of all their legal needs.
Ensuring photographers understand their legal rights and obligations are important as is being clear about the contents of any contract or agreement or release they wish to enter.
We believe in foresight rather than hindsight in the way we work with our legal clients and especially given the serious consequences of not properly understanding one’s legal obligations if things don’t go as planned.
We therefore encourage photographers to get legal advice on issues such as:
· Consent
· Copyright
· Moral Rights
· Ownership of images.
· Taking photographs in a public place & the rights of property owners.
· General rights to privacy.
· Unauthorised image use issues.
· Licensing Agreements regarding use.
· Gallery / Photographer agreements.
· Model and Property Releases.
· Liaising with Councils and other authorities for permission to photograph.
· Commercial use and publication of photographs.
Ippolito Lawyers welcomes enquiries from photographers regarding any legal issues relating to their photographic work.
