Details & Terms:

If you don't have a scanner, I can scan originals. I will be extremely careful with originals sent to me,
however you do so at your own risk. I will not be responsible for photos damaged or lost in the mail.
I prefer digital images, so that your original photo stays in your posession. Some images may be too
damaged to restore properly. If that is the case, I will let you know and will refund your money.

All images submitted to me must be the property of the person submitting them. Do not submit images copyrighted to someone else!

PHOTO COPYRIGHT INFORMATION

Copyright law dictates that any person instructing that restoration work be carried out must own the copyright of the photograph or have permission of the copyright owner. Further information is provided below.

Who is the owner? The law says the "author" is the owner of the copyright. The author of a photo or image is usually the person who took the picture or created the image. If you took the photo, you own the copyright. If a professional photographer took the photo on your behalf, then he or she owns the copyright. If that photographer is the employee of a firm or other person in the business of making photos, then his or her employer is considered the author.

How long does a Copyright last?
The general rule is that a copyright lasts the lifetime of the author plus 50 years. If the copyright work was a work for hire, then the copyright lasts 75 years from the date of the first publication or 100 years from the date of creation, whichever expires first.

Why does this matter?
Photographers feel they invest a lot of time and creative energy in getting the experience, and setting the camera, pose, lighting, background, and extra shots to get the right one. They generally price their services by taking into account the fact that customers will purchase their reprints from the photographer. If the prints are obtained elsewhere, the photographer loses the opportunity to recover a fee for the effort expended. Thus, the photographer wants the customer to come to him or her to request reprints so an appropriate fee can be charged.
Some photographers charge a realistic fee "up front" to compensate for their services, whether or not prints are ordered. They may authorize the customer to have the prints made anywhere. Since their names are associated with the photos, the photographers want control over how the reprints look. Please discuss these issues with your photographer. That way his or her position can be fully explained, and you can obtain the additional copies you desire.
