Not sure what you mean? If he wants images and you want to charge there is no issue. If you are only charging a few pounds and you are doing this as a one off the tax man probably isnt interested.
Thanks.
Basically do I need permission off this rider to take his picture? even though I didn't intentionally go there to photograph him (so it's not a modelling shoot for example)
And is there any issue about it being a private track? or does that not matter.
Thanks for your reply.

I have a question about the copyright of wedding photos.

indiepixie said:I have a complex situation at the moment in regards to me using some images I had taken.
First and briefly I was taken on, on a self employed basis within a company to take their Portraits for them in a studio, I had no contract apart from a piece of paper I signed to say I was self employed within this company and had to pay my own tax, national insurance and was not entitled to sick pay.
I had to provide my own camera and memory cards for the position also. And had signed nothing in relation to the copyright of the images.
The owner had noticed I used the images I had taken with my own camera from the studio and put them on my own website and was not happy at all and told me to delete my website. Her anger and actions led me to leave the company.
I do not want to sell the images on I just want to use these images on my website.
A few nasty texts and threats later have lead me to want to take some form of action. But I don't know what to do?
One of her messages included this on my social network page with its visibility to my customers, friends and family:
"(my name) delete all of these photographs that belong (company name) as this is fraud..... you are not a credible photographer if you steal another companies work
and do not have written consent.
(their name and company name)"
I have since noticed one of our old ads on a daily deals website, saying "Photographer retains copyright." under the fine print.
Where should I go from here? Your help would be much appreciated!
The copywrite stuff really interests me but also scares me a reasonable amount too! I'm only an amateur but enjoy taking photos at events I go to such as Wimbledon, Wembley and a recent trip to Battersea Powerstation for the X-fighters.
I believe that as I'm paying to enter - and so not open to the public as such - I can only publsih the images for non-commercial purposes. I've uploaded the better ones to flickr and got a lot of interest in images of Federer at Wimbledon on day one. Some small websites have used my images - is this allowed? Are "news" websites commercial?
I really want to share my images and flattered to get them published online, but am I in breach of any rules?
Wimlbedon's admittance to Wimbledon guidelines state:
Still photographs, film, videotape or other audio-visual material recorded within the Grounds may not be sold or used commercially in any way whatsoever unless authorised by the AELTC and may be confiscated by the Club if such sale or commercial use is suspected.

Wimbledon or any other ground can not assume any privacy in any area which is 'designated' pubic by way of charging a fee for entrance to that area.
If you took any photographs in a 'restricted' area ie changing areas, areas marked as 'private' or having 'no entry' signs you would be under the rules such as those stated by Wimbledon.
That's completely wrong I'm afraid. It's classed as private property with public access and as such you are bound by the terms and conditions of entry. Copyright law has nothing to do with it. The law of trespass applies; ie the terms of the licence which allows you on to the property in the first place.
That's interesting because I was a special constable and in the training we were advised that if a security guard required someone to be cautioned due to photographing an event as a paid guest we should tell the security guard that the individual is well within their rights ?

Poor training, or more likely poor memory, then.
The T&Cs of entry govern what you can and cannot do. If they state that photography is banned, the the security guard is well within his right to cause the offending person to be removed.

You can only enter by agreeing to the terms. Although if you break them its not tresspass either!
Yup it is. It becomes Trespass Ab Initio.

I had a picture on flickr. A design company asked for the use of it for a web site for a building company. i said that it would obviously cost. I didn't hear from them again. A few months later I googled the name of the image and found it on the front page of a builders web site. I screen grabbed it and the sent an invoice to the builders for £200. I also wrote a few follow up letters and emails. all have been ignored; the photo was removed. That was two years ago. Any advice would be welcome, including how I would present this in a small claims court. Can I claim against the design company also.
On another note: is there such a thing as plagiarisim in photography.
Cheers
If the ticket stipulates no photrography, the unauthorised photographer can be asked to leave.
