In keeping with this month’s Auckland Photography Festival, the Creative People’s Centre is hosting a free afternoon seminar on legal issues for photographers. The seminar takes place at 1pm on June 16th at the Depot Artspace, Devonport, with arts lawyer David McLaughlin covering issues specific to the photography in regard to copyright, contracts, moral rights and commissions.

David McLaughlin is an arts lawyer with a legal expertise across a wide spectrum of art forms.  David has his own practice McLaughlin Law www.mclaughlinlaw.co.nz and has acted as an advisor for the Depot for many years.  David also works with the Creative People’s Centre (CPC) to bring resources to the creative sector.

Following the highly successful music law seminars for NZ Music Month in May, this time CPC aims to provide practical information for photographers, and encourage them to become savvy in the legalities of being a practising artist. The two hour seminar will equip the participants with facts on how to take full control of their work and to protect their rights. Participants are encouraged to come prepared with any questions, as there will be time for open discussion.

The seminar is free to attend, though it is recommended to RSVP.
