A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Legalities of selling prints of someone else's car (alien.top)

I was at a local car show and took a few photos of cars that I liked. Am I allowed to sell these as prints, as the photos were taken in a public space?

Thanks

Photographers are protected by the right to show images that are newsworthy. Once you move it to commercial such as putting it in an ad or using someone's image to sell a product, you have to then get permissions, model release, etc. I'm assuming this was outside and not an indoor car show because you said public space. You're fine.
