Photographers’ Rights

When it comes to uploading your photography work to any website on the Internet, you should be aware of the benefits and potential pitfalls that might lie ahead for you. Although there is great benefit to having an online presence and sharing your photography work and skills with the world, you also open yourself up to theft, copyright infringement, and occasionally, a complete loss of the rights to your images. People rarely pay attention to the fine print when entering a photography contest or joining an online network, but it is better late than never!
