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.

i'm having issues with my old highschool/the person who is running the yearbook now. they're new at it and have no idea what they're doing yet. we agreed that i would come back this year and take photos of events for the yearbook. i have not missed a single home game this year, and i have taken thousands of pictures. suddenly this person decides they don't want my help and won't be using my pictures in the book. this is very much out of left field for me.

knowing this person, there's a large chance they'll end up using my pictures anyway. are my images protected by copyright in any way? what can i do if my pictures end up being used in the yearbook?

Honestly, with the little details provided about the situation, this sounds like a petty argument/disagreement with someone you feel sour about.

I'm sorry you are being treated in a way that feels hurtful in some way, but in my 36 years of wisdom on this earth and being involved in events/groups, it's best to move on from this one. Reflect and learn where you went wrong to better protect yourself in the future. By that I mean to better position yourself.
