the photograph. |

In most cases, that copyright will be owned by the photographer. |

As a copyright owner, the photographer has the exclusive right
to reproduce, distribute and make other uses of the work. |

Transfer of a physical object to a client does not also constitute
the transfer of the copyright. |

Any transfer of copyright must be done in writing and signed
by the photographer. |

The duration of the copyright is generally the lifetime of the
author plus 70 years. |
