Week 8_10 Questions to ask lawyer:
(Legal questions for to Photographers)
1. I was
contacted by someone and asked if I would photograph her wedding. I just want to know if I need a business
license. I do photography as a hobby, not as a business.
2. Dealing
with the issue of sales tax when discussing pricing options with your clients.
Do you give them your package rates and let them know that __% sales tax will
be added onto the final cost (assuming that the final product will be delivered
in the same state your business operates in)? Or do you build the sales tax
into the rates you discuss with your clients? Does it depend on the state?
3. Q: Can I
photograph people and places as long as I am standing on public property?
4. Can I sell/publish photographs taken on public land?
5. Can I sell
photographs I take of private property? (Is it legal to take a picture of someone's house and use the image in
blank photo note cards or framed enlargements without the owner's permission?)
6. When asked by
private security staff am I required to give my personal details?
7. When asked by the Police, am I required to
give my personal details?
8. Interesting
question: Let’s say I’m out in the jungle and a monkey steals my camera and
takes a bunch of pictures with it (there were some actual good shots too) Who
(if anyone) owns the rights to the pictures?
9. Can a photographer use pictures of my baby to advertise
without my consent? (The
photographer we used for our newborn baby shoot is using pictures of my infant
daughter (without clothes on) to advertise with. I asked her to take the photos
down, she refuses. What are my rights?)
10. Can I sell & or just present in an art gallery
images of my child that is partially nude? Meaning very
avant-garde/eclectic, making them look like living dolls, sometimes covered in
moss or fairytale like designs, make it look dated(black & white/Sepia)
something odd.
