Copyright issues of studio photos;

It's best to write it clearly on the order form to avoid problems in the future.

Objectively speaking, the photo studio is also copyrighted, because I don't know what is written on the shooting instructions. If the copyright of the photos given is not given, it is definitely illegal.

It's reasonable not to give you more pictures. Many photos are for you to choose from, and the photo studio has copyright. If there is no clear agreement in the early stage, it should be given, but if the quantity is clearly stated in the agreement signed in the early stage and you sign it, it is to confirm the service content, so it is legal not to give it.

To sum up, it is illegal for guests to take pictures in the studio without giving negative films. Whether it is a wedding photo or the original negative, the studio should deliver it to consumers unconditionally.

Legal basis:

Article 17 of the Copyright Law of People's Republic of China (PRC)

The copyright of commissioned works belongs to the trustee. According to custom, there is generally no agreement on copyright ownership between photo studios and customers in China, so the author of photos taken by photo studios naturally belongs to the trustee, that is, the consumer.
