With digital
photography becoming a marketing tool and a source of income for the
photographers, then you should be looking at ensuring that the copyrighting of
the photograph is done duly. This will ensure that the photographer is the
sole recipient of any income generated through the photos for his lifetime. If
you are a photographer, then you can ensure that your photos are not used for any commercial purpose without
your knowledge and permission.
What is photography copyright?
Photographers
who do not wish to share their images for free and who are looking for
additional source of income using their photos commercially should look up the
laws of copyright photography.
The copyright is a way to ensure that no one uses your images and photos for
commercial or income purposes without your permission. It ensures that the
photographer (the person who presses the camera shutter) is the one who
receives any benefit from the photo.
How to get the copyright?
It is quite
simple to get your photography copyright. You can do this through the online
website for the copyright office. You will have to fill in an application form
first and then pay a fee for registering your photo for copyright. After that,
upload your photographs and have them copyrighted electronically through
digital image upload.
What you need to
remember is that not to include published and unpublished photos in a single
batch while registering for copyright. You have to separate them and
register. This is why it is advisable to get the copyrights issued immediately after the photos are taken, and
editing is completed.
To ensure that you do not miss
any image from getting copyrighted, you should add the process of obtaining
copyrights as part of your photo processing workflow. As soon as you are done with the corrections and editing in
the images, upload them in batches and get their copyrights immediately.
