Arletta Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm not sure if I need any MR or PR for images with graves. There are visible names and it belongs to known persons. Example: E0K4X6 (under indexation today). Any ideas appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Interesting question. My guess would be model release not needed as no people present; Property release is a more difficult one - I dont know the answer but what I do myself, if a name/names is legible, is decide whether the person died more than 70 years ago; if so I am happy to say no property release need. If more recent than that, I would probably mark it property release needed. 70 years after death seems to be the time at which copyright expires for other things, and also if the grave is more recent you might have problems from relatives if you mark it "No PR needed" and the image is then used for commercial purposes.

Inchiquin Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I tend to just mark everything as property release needed on the basis that almost every shot I take is likely to have something in it that belongs to someone. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I agree with Alan. Very little of what I shoot has nothing in the shot that is not owned by someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Elliott Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 In Paris, the famous Père Lachaise is considered a national monument. I have been politely told off for taking images in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisken Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Sorry, I'm a bit late to this topic. Near me is a thoroughly vandalised church graveyard, with dates on the grave headstones going back to the 1800's. Yet, I mark them as RM because some of the burial grounds I take pictures of, are usually attached to a church. Which is owned and administered by a Christian or Catholic body.(Unintentional pun,apologies). The taking of some of these images means I have to stand on church property to get them. I wouldn't like to be responsible for the banning of photography in such hallowed places because of upsetting the church authorities if an image was inappropriately used. Long stretch of the ego, I know but these days...? Krisken-AKA 'Wuss' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The regulating body may be prepared to give you a permit to take photos - this is the case for Highgate cemetery. The attached T&C's will then define what they consider is acceptable. Many cemetery web sites give information on this point. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisken Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks Dov. Have a greenie for that useful info. (Does mean coming out of 'Stealth' mode, though). Krisken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
