newtothis Wrote:my question however was about photographs. These are mainly landscape and some are quite 'arty' with lovely skies etc which I did as extra to the others and doesn't have excavation or finds etc to report on. What if I decided to publish them or do a talk...do I have to seek permission to use my own photos? When I look through my archaeology books the photos and illustrations are credited to the artist yet I appear to have disappeared already so the likely hood of my being credited this time is slim.:
you dont have the copyright because you were employed at the time the work was created but you may have what is known as a moral right whereby other people can not change your work without your permission. but you are unlikely to be able to get satisfaction unless the images go global and a suitably qualified lawyer swings into view
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
