| Jul 3, 2018 at 17:42 | comment | added | jarnbjo | As I already commented on Crazy Dino's now deleted answer: I do not know UK or English law on this subject, but I could assume that there is an issue if you took these photos during working hours paid by your previous employer and now are intending to use them as promotion for a competing business. You may own the copyright to the photos, but that does not necessarily mean that you have the right to use them for any purpose, when they in reality have been paid for. | |

By being upset they can make your life difficult, especially in the 21st century. They can leave negative reviews on business pages, spread gossip using word of mouth (as you were walking their dog, I presume you're local) and you could end up losing an otherwise paying cutomer. I would think twice about antagonising them, as it could be more trouble than it is worth. Just avoiding using the pictures and using some from another client instead. | |
| Jul 3, 2018 at 14:30 | comment | added | Crazy Dino | I've deleted my initial answer as that was B2C this is B2B... this is a legal grey area at the moment due to the whole 'gig culture' way of working there is a massive movement to stop. I'll copy and paste some bits from my answer as a comment that may be relevant though. | |
