Photographer’s Right

As a photographer do you know your rights? Who, what, and where you can photograph?

It’s a constitutional right to make images of almost anything in the United States when you are in a public area. If you are ever put in a situation where you are being harassed by a security guard, police officer or even a private citizen for taking pictures you need to know your rights.

Links Worth Checking Out:
1) American Civil Liberties Union – Know Your Rights Photographers.
2) Pixiq.com – Your Rights as a photographer
3) The Photographers Right – The Photographer’s Right is a downloadable flyer that explains your rights as a photographer and is published by Bert P. Krages II – Attorney at Law – . Keep in mind that the flyer is only a guideline and you should seek out legal advice on the given situation you have been put in.

In this new world of security, photographers are being harassed more than ever for taking pictures, knowing your rights is essential.

Happy image making..
