Legal Issues in Photography

October 9th, 6-730pm

Presented in collaboration with Gallery 44.

Join us for a virtual workshop addressing legal issues relevant to the creation, distribution, exhibition and sale of photographic works.  The session aims to cover such topics as: understanding intellectual property rights and protecting images; avoiding copyright infringement; privacy and model releases; and navigating contracts with commissioners, publishers and galleries.  Participants are also encouraged to bring their photography-related legal questions, as a Q&A opportunity with facilitating lawyer Paul Sanderson will be provided.

This is a limited-capacity event open to Gallery 44 members.  Please visit the Gallery 44 website for more details.
