Can I post childrens photos on flickr?
I used to work for a photography studio that took pictures primarily of young children from ages 0 to 5 years old. They had a strict policy of never emailing these photos bc of stigma from child pornography. None of these photos were ever inappropriate, the children are always clothed sometimes in uniform and posed adequately. My question is this: now that I've left that job, I would love to post these pictures on flickr as part of my portfolio, but I'm afraid of copyright infringement and other issues bc the subjects are not my children. I always thought that bc I took the images that means they are my images but I was working for this company so does that mean the images belong to them? I also thought that if I alter the image enough i can get away with it. Can anyone help me? Can I get in trouble for posting these pictures online?
The photographs will almost certainly be copyright to the studio you were working for and not to you.
Just altering them would not make them yours. In fact altering without the permission of the copyright holder would be an infringement in itself.
Also, in the UK (and I believe in the US) there is a clause in the copyright act which states that shots taken for private and domestic purposes cannot be displayed by the photographer without the express permission of the person commissioning the photographs.
