If A takes photos of her neighbours trees without asking, I believe that this is within the law aslong as she takes tha photos from a public place or her own land. However, if A owns a museum and displays these phtoographs in this museum without asking permission, what does English law say about that?What is the law regarding displaying photogrpahs of private property?
It says it is legal, the photos were taken legally and the photographer is the owner of the photos and can do with them what they want.What is the law regarding displaying photogrpahs of private property?
A photograph generally belongs to whoever took it and they can do what they like with it.
Exceptions could arise if:
- the picture is indecent or obscene.
- official secrets or national security issues are involved.
- the picture was taken subject to a contract (e.g. if a model posed for a photographer for a fee)
- the picture is being displayed for an improper motive (e.g. as part of a campaign of harassment).
A person who photographs a tree which belongs to someone else can almost certainly display the image in any way they like. It is possible to imagine this being unlawful but only in very odd circumstances (e.g. possibly if the picture gave away the secret location of a nest of a very rare and legally protected bird).
