PHOTO 206: Your photography legal questions answered with special guest Vanessa Emilio - a podcast by Gina Milicia and Valerie Khoo

You can take pictures of anything and use them for whatever you want, right? Well, no. You need a clear understand of some basic laws around what you can do and use as a photographer. We talk to Vanessa Emilio to find out what you need to know including:

• Can I photograph someone without their permission?


• Can I photograph people in public?


• How do I cover myself legally so I can share images I took of a wedding or baby portraits?


• What about a large public event? Should I post a bulk model release at all entrances and exits. Is this enough?


• Many magazines and companies are making photographers sign contracts where they sign over all rights to their images. How do we protect our rights, negotiate a better deal and still keep the client


• Can I take a photograph while on private property?


• How do I protect images on my website?


• How do I protect my images on social media?


• Should I use a Photography Contract with my clients?

Gina and Valerie discuss all this and more!
