Author: B&H Photo & Video July 20, 2023 Duration: 1:05:50

Do you have questions about establishing your photography business and legally protecting yourself and your images? From setting up a business entity to drafting client contracts to key terms in a model release, we cover these points and much, much more, during an in-depth discussion with intellectual property attorney Rachel Brenke.

Listen in and learn about the value of contracts as the center point in any sort of business transaction. You'll also discover how the legal tripod of a business entity, attorney-drafted contracts, and liability insurance can create a powerful force field of protection. During the show's second half we explore various infringement scenarios, and even take the plunge into potential legal implications in the wake of AI technology and other current trends.
