Copyright explained

In the same way that musicians control who can reproduce their music, photographers control who can reproduce their images. Authors of original works own the copyright in their work and this is enshrined in legislation – the Copyright Designs & Patents Act 1988 – more information on copyright ownership can be found at www.patent.gov.uk


Shops, hairdressers and pubs etc all need licence's to play music - photographers, like musicians, own the copyright in their work and issue licence's to enable people to reproduce their images. This is why it is important that you discuss your commission and fully brief your photographer including details about where and how you would like to use the images. The photographer will give you a licence that will reflect the agreed media - ie. on a web site, in a brochure etc ., the time period and territories. The use of these images will be exclusive to you. This means that the photographer will not be able to allow any third party to use the images they shot for you during the time they are licensed for your use and beyond if this is agreed.

Can StudioTime use my photos?
StudioTime can only use your photographs if you have allowed us to by signing the appropriate model release form. StudioTime would always like to be able to use your photographs for our portfolio (print and web). We will not sell photographs to any third party unless agreed with you.
