floaterg Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm just starting to try to sell my photography and I need a good resource for legality questions. Does anyone know of a good reference/link? Link to comment
anggrace Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Check and see if there is a small business development center in your area. They mentored me, and it's all free. Link to comment
tinydancer81 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 my hubby has sold his photography before, there is no legal matters to be concerned with, be prepared when you sell the photo some companies might want to buy the copyright which means you lose all rights to photo and only get paid the once. It depends where your trying to sell it, are you trying to sell it to big companies? Your best bet is to get online with a stock photo company. The company will take a percent of your pay but how much is up to you. My hubby sells on link removed Hope this helps Link to comment
floaterg Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 thanks a lot! well i'm starting by going to a local harvest festival as a vendor. some examples of questions i have are: pictures of boats, restaurants - if the name of the boat/restaurant appears in the picture, do i need the owner's permission?

floating_away Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I don't think you do need permission in that case. My understanding is that you need signed releases solely for recognizable photos of people. I'd search for 'photographers rights' in your country, as the laws differ where you are. Link to comment
