Does taking a photograph of a dancer infringe copyright?
15/06/2008
A still photograph might capture a step or pose from the choreography, but will not reproduce a substantial part of the choreography and therefore will not infringe copyright in the choreography.
The costume, however, may be protected by copyright as a work of artistic craftsmanship, in which case permission would be needed to photograph it.
