Re: .
Don't argue with a photographer. They make money taking pictures of things they don't own, then they claim they own the photo of it. It's a shady business. Because of them people with home cameras can't get pictures developed if they look "professional" and can't reprint things like year book photos and family photos because somehow paying someone to take your picture gives them ownership of the picture by default. |

Woodside, NY | Work made for hire, if I pay a wedding photographer for their services, I technically own the photos. If I wanted to be an ass I could go to court and have them seized if need be.

| Sorry, the person you are replying to is correct.
If you are commissioned to take wedding photos then you own all copyright. The people who pay you for the photos are paying you to reproduce them but that doesn't mean you give up your copyright.
Meanwhile, no, just because people ask not to be taken doesn't mean they can stop you from taking photos anywhere other than inside a military base. Even those they can assault you but cannot legally in the US prevent you from taking photos or take your photos at any time, even with a disclaimer stating "No Photography allowed"...first amendment folks, learn it. It isn't given up unless you allow yourself to. |
