"Fashion" law - clashing interests of photographers and models. Copyright objects on human body
Creative labor is not limited to the areasof business and visual art, it is also present in cases of amateur photo sessions when ordinary people (not professional models) pose not for financial compensation but for the result of the shooting, that is, pictures and an opportunity to share them on social networks. Amateur photo sessions are a hottopic since any person has participated in one at least once in their lives. However, whileit is easy to provide consent, get a hairdo and makeup done, it is not that easy to use such photos in the future, as there are many pitfalls that common people hardly ever think of. In this respect, the publication by S. Gavryushkin, managing partner at “Gavryushkin and Partners” law firm, provides an in-depth analysis of the rights the photographer and the model have for the respective copyright objects, that is, worksof photography. He gives examples when the interests of these parties clash, referring to actual legal precedents, and analyzes the legal natureof such peculiar objects of copyright as hairdo, makeup and tattoos.
