The Photographer’s Guide to Copyright
|
PhotoShelter offers several free, informative guides for photographers on a wide range of creative and business-related topics. The latest is a 37-page PDF called The Photographer’s Guide to Copyright.
The guide starts with background information on what exactly copyright means, the six rights granted with copyright, what’s copyrightable, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA).
Later sections cover the details of registering copyrights, protecting your images with metadata, Fair Use, what to do when your images are used without your consent, copyrights for motion and video, copyright trends, and more.
The guide is free, but you have to sign up with your email address to get it.
PhotoShelter also offers free, downloadable guides on topics like branding, pricing work, selling fine art and stock photography, how to start a business, how to use social media, email marketing, and more.
