The Mawson Lakes Photography Club is pleased to announce that Luke Dale, a partner at Kelly & Co Lawyers, has kindly offered to present a session on legal issues relating to photography, including:
- Where can I / can’t I take photographs legally?
- Does the size of my camera matter?
- Do I need to ask for permission if I want to take someone’s photo in a public place? What if it’s a photo of a child?
- Can I put photos of people on my personal website, blog, or share them on Facebook or Google+?
- What should I do if I get approached by a security guard or police officer saying that I’m not allowed to take photos and that I must delete them?
- I have read that I need a signed consent form to be able to use photos commercially? What does ‘commercial use’ mean?
- When do I need a signed consent form and what should it cover?
- What does copyright entail and why should I care about it?
- What about licensing of images? That sounds awfully complicated? What are the options?
- What should I do if I find out that someone has used one of my images without my permission on their website, in their publication, or as their own?
The session will be held on Thursday 20th March, at Kelly & Co offices:
Kelly & Co Lawyers
Level 21
91 King William Street, Adelaide
The session will commence at 6:00pm. For security reasons all attendees must be in the building by 5:45pm. The building will be locked from this time onwards.
Attendance is open to members from all local camera clubs but capacity limited to approximately 50 attendees – entry will be on a first come first serve basis. Entry is free for Mawson Lakes Photography Club members and by gold coin donation for all others.
We also invite those planning to attend to submit any additional questions they would like covered by Sunday February 23rd to Kylie Gray at brettkylie7375@hotmail.com.
