Common questions about photography websites

Does my photography website need copyright notices?

While copyright protection exists automatically, displaying copyright notices on your website and images strengthens your legal position. Include a clear copyright statement in your footer and on portfolio pages.

What should my photography website say about image rights?

Your website should clearly explain what clients receive (files, prints, licensing terms), what they can and cannot do with images (social media, commercial use), and your policy on portfolio usage of client photos.
