Photography Question 

Keith Frerichs
 

Copyright Law


I was recently at a Hillary Clinton rally and her husband Bill was speaking. I took some photos of Bill alone and Bill with other elected officials, Veterans, etc. on stage. First, I would like to know if I can sell pictures that I took of Bill alone? Secondly, can I sell pictures of Bill that have these other people in them? As always thanks for your help.

  Sell which images to whom and for what purpose, and with what, if any, releases, Keith?

  Mark I would like to sell images of Bill Clinton alone and images of Bill Clinton with other elected officials, veterans etc. to several people that have expressed interest. Their intention is to display the photos in their homes or place of business. I have no releases for any of these photos. What are the rules with public officials alone and with others?
Thanks,Keith

  Keith, check out Dan Hellers site. He has a detailed check list that should clearly help answer your questions.

Also invest in some books such as Bert Krages "Legal Handbook for Photographers". But I think you will find the answer on Heller's site:
