COPYRIGHT & REPRODUCTION LICENSE INFORMATION.
What is this "reproduction licence" for?
All images are protected by copyright law and moral rights. In order to lawfully reproduce any such images, permission from the copyright owner is required. The reproduction licence grants permission within the terms laid out in the licence.
What if I don't have a reproduction licence?
Without permission, any reproduction is illegal and the person responsible could face criminal prosecution. Any reputable photographic lab will not reproduce professional imagery without the copyright holder's permission.
So, who owns the copyright then?
Go West Photography owns the copyright to all photographic images
But I've paid for the photographs, surely they're mine to do with as I please?
You have paid for the photographer's skill and creativity and the time and expense of the photographic shoot; you have also paid for any materials such as photographic prints, or albums. You do not own the copyright and ultimately cannot own the photographic image.
This copyright stuff is very involved / deep / boring / dull...
