2.The Questions:
Explain why these are of interest to you. What specific concepts and terms were
involved – in other words, what are the legal issues?
I
really wasn’t so sure as to what questions to ask, so during the EOC to look
for ten questions was a great help. I found most of the questions on-line and
of course relating to photography. I typed up, “legal questions for photography.”
It took me around an hour to find decent ones and some even a little humorous. Just
the process of finding as much as I can and choosing 10 that may suit my needs
would be efficient. The legal issues that are involved includes, dealing with
contracts, privacy or public use, an unusual yet something to think about intellectual
rights, when certain authorities ask questions, and dealing with people’s emotions
or what they think is right or wrong. In example the 9th question I
had says about using the picture someone’s child for commercial and the
photographer refuses to take the picture down. This is where contracts need to
be done and read properly. “Business people sometimes deliberately choose
vagueness. They do not want the terms of the contract to be clear. It may be
that they are not sure what they can get from the other side, or in some cases,
even what they really want. So they try to form a contract that leaves their
options open. However, as the following case illustrates: vagueness is your
enemy.”(Samuelson, Page 209) This situation should have been discussed and
thoroughly gone over with both the photographer and client. Contracts should
also be looked over more than twice with someone else just in case. It’s like
writing a paper for class yet there was no proof read— your message might not
come across right.
