Product Description
Beginning with the basic laws that govern photography, this legal manual helps photographers understand the basic matters of access and privacy, covering issues such as shooting images on private property, consent, and the photography of public groups. Subjects addressed include the legalities of photographing currency, stamps, securities, trademarks, seals, and insignia; military and nuclear installations; copyrighted materials; children; and animals. This updated handbook closes with a helpful glossary that decodes complicated legalese.

 A Must have for Photographers September 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
There is something useful on every page. This was one of the best things I've bought next to my camera. This is book is a great resource for any photographer, but a must have for anyone who is thinking of selling their photos.

An informative book that any photographer should have that not only covers common legal issues but also sorts out gray areas of the law concerning photographers. Every chapter holds a lot to be learned and will make you rethink some of the things that may be taken for granted. This book is definetly a tool for understanding the rights of photographers as well as their subjects. Legislature that could be confusing is simplified and potential legal infractions are more easily identified. A smart addition to any photographer's library.

Fine basic review. Well-recommended but may be worth looking for at your public library given the cost.
If you're a pro, you will get professional legal advice. That's how it works. It's a cost of doing business professionally. Your attorney may recommend reference material.
If you're a hobbyist, you probably want to read this once or twice and take a few notes. Many won't go back over and over.
I wouldn't think about posting photos online or shooting in more-or-less public places without reading a book like this at least once. You may differ. Perhaps you don't care to have a say in the use of your photos and you don't mind handing over your camera if/when someone objects to the photos you're taking.
Me? I'm a reader. I bought this book and will probably read it annually. YMMV.
it a great book to have if you a photographer amature or a pro. May 24, 2008

 little disappointed March 18, 2007

I'll admit I haven't read every page of the book yet. I'm using it more for reference than anything. But so far I haven't been able to find much in the book that isn't already general knowledge in the photography community. Great for a beginner, I suppose, or someone just starting out. I'm just a little disappointed that I didn't find more valuable detailed legal information in there to help me in my stock photography business.
