A Photographers Legal Rights and Copyright
Questions and conversation have come up many times with South Florida Camera Club members about a photographers rights, as well as copyright law and how to protect your art / photographs from being stolen or used without your permission and without payment. Since there’s so much interest in this topic and thanks to Michele Sanberg’s suggestion, I have invited two attorneys to come and talk with us at the next SFCC meeting. Attorney’s Michael Pancier and Frank Herrera will teach us through lecture many of the legal aspects of photography and follow it up with a question and answer session.
