Under U.S. law, copyright in a photograph is the property of the person who presses the shutter on the camera not the person who owns the camera, and not even the person in the photo.
Taking photographs of things that are plainly visible from public spaces is a constitutional right and that includes federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police and other government officials carrying out their duties.
What is a photo licensing agreement? A photo licensing agreement is a contract between two parties, the licensor (the photographer who owns the copyright and is licensing the rights to use the image) and the licensee (the person or company wanting to and gaining the right to use the image).
The cost of selling image rights should depend on your level of work, labor, resources, photography experience, marketing, and terms of use. In general, you can get anywhere between $20 to $50. However, you can ask for more, even thousands of dollars, if you want a complete copyright buyout.
Practitioners and licensing executives often refer to three basic types of voluntary licenses: non-exclusive, sole, and exclusive. A non-exclusive licence allows the licensor to retain the right to use the licensed property and the right to grant additional licenses to third parties.
In the case of photography, the photos and copyrights are owned by the photographer. The only exception is if that photographer is an employee or the images are subject to an agreement. Also, a copyright does not transfer automatically with the actual work.
Examples of common licensing agreements include: A sports team allowing another company to produce t-shirts with the team's logo. A movie company that allows another company to create a toy based on a character the movie company owns.
Basically, copyright law says that when you take a photograph, you become the copyright owner of the image created. This means you hold exclusive rights to: Reproduce the photograph. Display the image in a public space.
A licensing agreement allows one party (the licensee) to use and/or earn revenue from the property of the owner (the licensor). Licensing agreements generate revenues, called royalties, earned by a company for allowing its copyrighted or patented material to be used by another company.
In order to license images and grant photo usage rights, you need to be either the author of the images, or otherwise authorized to license the images. For example, agencies are also authorized to license images if the author has contractually allowed them to be granted.
