Although the law provides the protections mentioned above, each case is examined based on its circumstances and nuances. It is difficult to predict a future outcome. Therefore, the best way for a person or business to protect themselves as much as possible is to seek permission from the photographed individuals to publish the photos. If minors are involved, their parents’ consent will also be required.<\/p>\n

The consent of the photographed individuals to use their images should be documented in a written agreement, ideally drafted by an experienced lawyer. It is important that the agreement is not just general but specifies the particular uses intended for the photo. For example, if the use is for the business\u2019s website or social media pages, this should be mentioned along with the nature of the use as required. If future uses of the images are planned in other media, they should also be included in the agreement.<\/p>\n
