Photographs
However, copyright may reside with a photographer. The source of the photograph should be given in the figure caption or in the acknowledgements, and it is to this source that you should apply for permission. You must be aware of the owners honourable right of truth in illustrations. This can be infringed by changing or cropping photographs or changing colours in artwork. If you want to use a photograph youve taken of someone, you should seek permission from them. Certain photographs and films which are commissioned for private and domestic purposes, such as wedding photos, are also subject to the right of privacy. This means that the person who commissioned the photos (usually the wedding couple) can prevent copies of the photographs being issued to the public. This right lasts for as long as the photograph concerned remains in copyright.
