[QUOTE="LensWork, post: 18294, member: 1283"] Check with your editor first before soliciting sales of images or furnishing images to law enforcement, insurance companies, etc. Their rules may allow you to do this, maybe not. As an (unpaid) intern, the rules may be different than if you were a (paid) staff photographer. Now if you were a stringer (freelance), then of course you are free to do whatever you wish with your images. But, even though you are not being paid by the paper, your access to the events you are covering while on assignment for them (media credentials) [U]may[/U] constitute "work for hire", and therefore the paper [U]might[/U] own the rights to the images. Even if the paper cannot claim ownership of the images, soliciting sales of images while acting as a representative of the paper could be considered unprofessional and cost you your internship.
