Location: Online

You can’t afford to ignore the legal issues in the photography field!

This workshop will provide an overview of the types of legal issues encountered by photographers including contracts, copyright protection and enforcement, the right of privacy, and the use of social media platforms. We will also discuss major considerations that photographers face when hired for a project, and provide helpful tips on preemptive steps photographers can take in protecting their works and enforcing their rights.

In addition to photographers – visual artists, artistic directors, photo editors, photo agencies, and photo studios will also benefit from attending this course.
