Ok, I'm posting here because this appears to be the place where legal questions will be answered. If this is not the right place (mods), kindly repost where appropriate. Thanks.
I'm not in business with my photography, in fact, I'm quite new, but I wanted to know what are my rights when I take someone's picture. I mean. Say, I ask a complete stranger if I could take her picture. She agrees. Later on, let's say I'm showing my work somewhere and a person likes the picture of the stranger I took. Could I sell that picture? Could I put that picture in a book? Could I even show that picture in an exhibit? We're assuming I did not ask her to sign a release or anything. I simply asked her (verbally) if I could take her picture, she said yes, and I took the picture. What are my rights with my work? Thanks.
