The ethical and moral debate about photographic images in this global society continues to increase dramatically. Freedom of speech and the right of privacy are more and more in conflict. This updated book provides both a practical and personal perspective on the photographer's critical rights and obligations.

This unique resource covers core areas of intellectual property law, tort law, and criminal law and contains necessary information for lawyers, photographers, and content creators. The book covers copyright, privacy and defamation, trespass, social media--and includes discussions about the evolution of drone photography. Lawyer and photographer Steven Richman uses several additional cases and situations to illustrate the potential pitfalls a photographer may encounter.
