A photograph of a statue would be considered a derivative work; if the statue is protected by copyright, you would need permission from the rightsholder to create the derivative work.

How do you flatten a curling photo?

I am not a paper conservator, but this is how I've flattened old, curled photographs: Allow the photograph to absorb moisture by exposing it to relatively high humidity (do not use water directly on the print). I only flatten photographs during humid periods in the summer. Once the photograph has absorbed some moisture (allow several days in humid air), it should be more flexible and less resistent to flattening. A dry, curled photograph will resist bending, and the surface will cack easily if forced. Slowly and gently flatten the photograph using your fingers and hands. Potential damage (creases, cracks, kinks) can occur, especially at the print's edges as you press them, so go slowly and carefully. Carefully flatten the photograph and place it under a heavy, flat object. You can use a book for small prints. Place a piece of acid free paper or mat board on both sides of the print. The time to flatten the print will depend; just check it over many days or even weeks or months for the print to relax and flatten.

When applying for a new passport what are the procedures and do you need a new photograph?

If you're in the US and still have the old passport book, and meet a couple of other requirements you can apply through the mail. travel.state.gov has all the requirements, instructions and forms. You will need a new photo. Most post office locations that accept passport applications will take your photo for a fee, but call ahead as some require an appointment.


What are the legal aspects of photography?

Photographers who are paid for their work, or compose or record images for future profit have their work protected by copyright law. If you hire one to photo or video an event, the professional is the owner of the images. Depending on the deal you have, you will get a certain amount of proofs or images or video files of the event. Any extra copies have to be paid for. For example: you purchase a package that includes photos and a video of your wedding. Only the copies the photographer provides are legal copies. If you start burning extra copies of the wedding video, it is a copyright violation, just like any other video. In the business of creating photography, video, art and prose, among other creations of artistic nature, copyright is implied and automatic. The artist or craftsman is entitled to make money off the creation and not have it wholesaled, unless that was part of the deal. That has to be in writing. A photographer will sometimes sell the rights to a photo or an event like a wedding. To insure your rights, you must get a document from the photographer granting you ownership of the material. All transferred copyrights need documentation. On the other hand the use of your image if it is recognizable in a photograph or video cannot be used for commercial purposes without your permission. In this case the photographer has to get your permission in the form of a document called a "release". You can and should be compensated for such use of your image. In between are many areas that are uncertain and usually unimportant or in some cases exempt. For example if you are in the background of a video or photograph, and are not the subject of the work, it does not count as something that needs to compensated. If you are in a photo or video that is newsworthy, like a protest or meeting that is covered by media, that is also exempt. If you notice you are being recorded in such an event, you must personally notify the photo/videographer if you desire not to be recognized in the image. This must also be in writing.

How do you find out if you mention a name in your book you have to get permission from an author or estate?

If you mention a real person in your book, it's generally advisable to get permission if the mention is critical to the story or could potentially harm their reputation. If the person is a public figure or deceased, you may not necessarily need permission, but it's good practice to consult a legal professional to ensure you are not infringing on any rights.
