[QUOTE="AC016, post: 419110, member: 9619"] Well, as far as i know, they should have at least asked your permission and gotten you to sign a release form. On the other hand, yes, the photos do belong to the studio. If i were you, i would not approach the studio with all guns blazing. I would ask them why they never asked your permission and see where it goes from there. If they tell you they did not have to, then you should explain to them the laws (make sure you know them yourself). Essentially, try to come to an amicable agreement about the photo. To a degree, those photos are generating business for them; therefore, you should bring up the matter of money, but not in a demanding way. Again, be diplomatic about it. If you get no joy from them, then i suggest you get further legal advise. Lastly, be sure that you get evidence of these photos hanging on their wall. The could just take them down and then you have no case. [/QUOTE]
