Photographers' Rights
Many photographers contact us requesting information on 'photographers rights'. Two main areas are:
Copyright - more information can be found on our copyright page, or on the Intellectual Property Office website at www.ipo.gov.uk
Their right to take photos - there is an increasing amount of stories in the press about the restrictions placed on photographers when taking shots and their right to have their images published. Again, it's a complex legal question and depends very much on individual circumstance. However, BIPP photographers have access to a detailed explanation of their rights (in the members' area of www.bipp.com), along with free legal advice.
If you are not a member of the BIPP, your citizens' advice bureau may be able to help.
