Michelle Bogre, a photographer, college professor and lawyer, has started an excellent website called TheCopyrightCorner.org. In it she plainly and simply spells out the rules of copyright for professional photographers. My favorite page on the site answers the question “I am a photographer, so if I own copyright in my photograph, can I do anything with my photograph?”

You should check out the answer. Interesting reading.

Other topics she covers:

• Basics – what copyright is
• Getting Started – get it, keep it
• Register Your Stuff – Reasons and Rationale
• Fair Use – the guidelines

It will take you about 15 minutes to read them all, but you will be much more educated about copyright issues in the end.
