FAQ

May the photographer copy my photograph without my permission?
1.6.2008

If you own the copyright in the photograph, the photographer generally needs your permission to make a copy of it. You may need to check your agreement with the photographer, and whether you gave any such permission in that agreement.

 

If the photographer owns the copyright, then he or she may make a copy of the photograph. Again, check your agreement with the photographer in relation to this.
