Legal Handbook for Photographers

The Rights and Liabilities of Making Images, 3rd Ed.

by Bert P. Krages, Esq.

Avoid Risk and Potential Liability by Understanding Your Rights as a Photographer

Photographers who do not understand their most basic rights about what, where, and when they can photograph may meet one of two

fates: they may find themselves in legal hot water or may miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture an image in a situation that would have presented no legal repercussions. In this book, Bert P. Krages, Esq., uses simple language to teach you the legal ins and outs of pressing issues like copyrights, privacy issues, working on private property, photographing government facilities, and much more.
