Photography and the Law

""As both a senior commercial lawyer and professional photographer, I have a unique perspective on the need for photographers to have a solid understanding of the legal issues and risks associated with their craft. Robert Ratcliffe’s Photography and the Law emerges as a trusted resource to help Canadian photographers navigate the legal landscape and take the right steps to protect their business and work and minimize the potential for legal problems. Clear, comprehensive, and full of real-world examples, it equips photographers of every level and genre with the essential legal knowledge and strategies they need for success."" - Jason Marino, internationally awarded, nationally accredited professional landscape and nature photographer ""Photography and the Law will help photographers navigate complex privacy issues in a thoughtful way, giving clear explanations and concrete examples of how the law applies in different situations. It answers common questions that photographers would have, as well as some they might not have thought about before. It will be an indispensable resource for serious photographers, and engaging reading for anyone interested in the art or business of photography."" - Barbara von Tigerstrom, Professor, College of Law, University of Saskatchewan and author, Information & Privacy Law in Canada ""Robert Ratcliffe has combined his experience and knowledge of law with his interest as a keen amateur photographer to produce this comprehensive manual of legal and practical dos and don'ts for photographers, both professional and amateur. He deserves to be congratulated for producing a work that is full of good sense and is both easy to read and jargon-free. An indispensable guide for anyone who points a camera or is pointed at by one."" - David Vaver, Emeritus Professor of Intellectual Property & Information Technology Law, University of Oxford and Osgoode Hall Law School
