Street and Photography

Sharon Givoni Consulting Photography

Intellectual property lawyer, Sharon Givoni works with professional photographers. While many of her cases involve the photographer taking legal action, they can also easily find themselves as the defendant. One example is when photographing street art. Sometimes copyright law can prevent you from taking photos of street art if the effect of this means that you reproduce the art and if you have not obtained permission. The risks are often heightened if the use is for commercial purposes. Let’s take a look at the issues in detail and some case studies on point.
