This question already has an answer here: [Removed unnecessary questions and rephrased the question] I have a few concerns about taking pictures of people for commercial and non-commercial purposes [U.S.].
I noticed that there are way too many picture on the internet with people in the shot, and I doubt all these photographers asked permission to publish. |

These are three separate questions, which you should probably ask separately. However I think they've all been handled before. I think these three cover your questions: Can I publish photos taken in public legally? Is a model release needed for all commercial photo sales? How do I copyright my photographs? Basically, you can post or sell pictures (as art) that you've taken of people in public places, or use them in contests. You would need permission to use them for commercial purposes, e.g. advertising. You don't have to register your photos to have copyright, but it could allow you to receive higher damages if you sue someone for infringement. |
