Yes, photographs captured for school or college magazines are protected by copyright.

Copyright protection is automatic in the United States, so you do not need to register
your photographs with the U.S. Copyright Office in order to be protected. However,
registering your photographs with the Copyright Office can provide you with some
additional benefits, such as the ability to sue for statutory damages in the event of
copyright infringement.

The copyright owner of a photograph has the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute,
perform, display, and create derivative works of the photograph. This means that the
copyright owner can prevent others from copying, distributing, or using the photograph
without their permission.

If you are a student who has taken photographs for your school or college magazine,
you are likely the copyright owner of those photographs. However, it is important to
check your school or college's policies on copyright ownership to make sure.

If you are concerned about copyright infringement, you can contact the copyright owner
of the photograph and ask them for permission to use the photograph. You can also try
to negotiate a licensing agreement with the copyright owner. If you cannot reach an
agreement with the copyright owner, you may be able to file a copyright infringement
lawsuit.

Here are some tips for protecting your copyrights in photographs:

● Always include a copyright notice on your photographs. The copyright notice

should include the copyright symbol (©), the year of first publication, and your
name.
● Register your photographs with the U.S. Copyright Office. This will give you
more legal options if your photographs are infringed.
● Keep good records of your photographs. This includes the date you took the
photographs, the camera you used, and the location where you took the
photographs.
● Be aware of your school or college's policies on copyright ownership.

By following these tips, you can help to protect your copyrights in photographs and
prevent others from using your work without your permission.
