Frank Nordberg Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hopefully a quick question, do I need releases from the owners to publish photos of historical and public buidings too? I have four series of pictures of architecture from four different towns, three late 19th/early 290th century and one medieval. I was hoping I could publish those photos here but there is absolutely no way I can identify and contact the owners of each and every house on the pictures.

losdemas Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Did you enter any private property? Were the images taken from a public right of way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 In the UK you can normally shoot and publish (as Rights Managed, no property release) from a public thoroughfare, but the rules vary worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 You don't need releases if you want to sell your photos. Just tick the right boxes when it comes to property releases in the Image Manager. To be on the safe side, you can also make your images available for editorial purposes only.

Bill Brooks Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Buildings, historical or not, are owned by someone. If a particular building is featured then I make if RF and check “sell for editorial only” box. If there are buildings, as in a city skyline without one particular building featured, I make it a RF and leave the “sell for editorial only” box unchecked, so it can be sold for anything.

Frank Nordberg Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 A quick thank you to everybody who offered their advice. All my pictures are taken from public streets and itnerestingly that means different laws apply since they are from two different countries.
