p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Photography Copyrights- Who Owns them? (Studio or Subcontractor) | |
I own a wedding photography studio with about 8 photographers who shoot for me as subcontractors. I have used at least 10 in the past and none of them have been with me through any sort of written contract. I do allow these photographers to use the images in their portfolios while many other studios here in town do not allow their associates to do so.
What I'm wondering is whether the copyrights of the images belong to my company since I pay the subcontractors to shoot the weddings for me, or whether the copyrights below to the subcontractors.
I know that copyright generally belongs to the creator, however, I was hoping to get some clarity from some of you who may have gone through a similar scenario.
Yes, I will be running this by a business attorney as well.
Thanks everyone!
