Photographers Rights in NZ
## Updated 30th July 2009 ##
Whether you are an amateur or professional photographer you need to understand your rights and moral responsibilities.
Laws around photography and copyright vary from country to country, so make sure you understand what is applicable to you.
If you are in New Zealand one of the best sources for information is the Advertising and Illustrative Photographers Association (AIPA). They have a lot of photography related resources (many of which are written by, Clendon Feeney Barristers and Solicitors) available, including:
- Image Licencing Contracts.
- Model and Property Release documents.
- Numerous White Papers.
One of the documents that I found of particular interest was about copyright and photographers rights in New Zealand - Photography Law in New Zealand.
