Presented by Artists’ Legal Advice Services (ALAS) and Gallery 44.
Join us for a virtual workshop addressing legal issues relevant to the creation, distribution, exhibition and sale of photographic works. The session aims to cover such topics as: understanding intellectual property rights and protecting images; avoiding copyright infringement; privacy and model releases; and navigating contracts with commissioners, publishers and galleries. Participants are also encouraged to bring their photography-related legal questions, as a Q&A opportunity with facilitating lawyer Paul Sanderson will be provided.
