Are you actually allowed to photograph everything you see? And what about publication? Anyone who regularly travels with a camera – whether professionally or privately – should know the legal framework.
In this seminar, Wolfgang Rau provides a practical overview of the most important aspects of photography law. He is a lawyer, specialist in this field, author and president of the German Association for Photography. From practice for practice, he will explain the legal principles that must be observed when taking photographs – from personal rights to the right to the premises to the publication of images.
