Photography and the Law

With Paul Menes, Esq.

The legal issues affecting photographs and the photographers who take them are different than for other types of original works. The growth of social media, paparazzi, and "entertainment news" sites, television shows, and magazines has raised additional issues about photos that people shoot and how they can be used. This workshop will provide a primer on the various legal issues involved with photos and how these issues differ based on how photos are used. Topics will include: the rights of copyright that apply to photos; who owns a photo - the photographer, the person or company that commissioned it, or the subject of the photo; when "fair use" can apply to how a photo is exploited; the types of contracts that generally cover the taking and use of photos; how California's rights of publicity laws affect photos of celebrities and public figures.
