Street Photography - The legalities of what you can and can't do!

As part of our information session today at the Peppin Heritage Centre, we will be discussing the finer points of the legalities associated with street photography.
Kate has found a great publication that has been published early this year and is NSW specific, (and written by a solicitor too).
If you intend on taking photos on the 9th March, we highly recommend that you read all of the following publications:
1)   NSW Photography rights and legal issues by Andrew Nemeith
2)   Arts Law Centre of Australia - Street Photographer rights
3) Australia Council for the Arts- Protocols for working with children in art - DRAFT

And some more bed time reading.....
4) Arts Law Centre of Australia- General fact sheet on copyright

Now, we know that some peoples eyes glaze over when we start to talk about copyright and the legalities of the project, but as a participant, and a photographer in general, please take this seriously and be aware of what your rights are (and when you might be breaking the law)

Happy snapping....
Nina
