Review “If you’re a professional photographer, you must own this book. It’s as much a basic and valuable tool as your light meter. Leonard D. DuBoff’s The Law (in Plain English)® for Photographers will help you avoid some legal pitfalls, answer many legal questions about your business, and intelligently inform you how to deal with your own legal counsel (something hard to avoid these days).

Their sweep of topics is very valuable, ranging from intellectual property protection to all the things one must do for business formation, legally, as well as the contracts and releases necessary to effectively run a business. As such, they produce a very clear roadmap to follow for understanding the key legal issues likely to be impactful to a photographer. For example, the chapters on rights of publicity and privacy, along with defamation and libel, are most useful as references to clearly delineate legal minefields to avoid. I also very much appreciated the way they explained how the law would affect a career at every stage from launching a business to en
