Legal Issues in Photography

October 18, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Woman taking photographs

Location: Zoom

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.

Instructor:
This program will be taught by VLA Associate Board Member Tatsuya Adachi, Esq. Tatsuya handles cases involving copyright, trademark, unfair competition, patent, trade secret, breach of contract, and business torts. He also handles IP licensing and transactional entertainment matters.

His goal is to help these individuals execute their dream projects and protect their intellectual property rights.
