Hi fellow CSers,
Doing some research for a future commercial project so need a bit of help here.
Understand that quite a lot of CSers here actively follow events to shoot celebrities and stars. For photos taken of celebrities and stars during public events, I believe that the rights of the photos belong to the photographers?
What about press conferences and other functions which is not accessible to members of the public?
Does the photographer have the right to reproduce the photos as prints for sales or as digital copies on the Internet?
Would release permission have to be obtained from the stars or their management company?
Would appreciate greatly to hear from fellows CSers with legal backgrounds.
Thanks,
Cal
