Who owns the copyright of the photos taken by the studio?

Legal analysis: it depends on the specific situation. Photographic works taken by the studio are protected by copyright law, but the copyright ownership of photographic works should be considered according to the specific circumstances. The photo studio takes wedding photos, which belongs to commissioned works. The ownership of photo copyright depends on whether there is a contract between the two parties. If there is no agreement, the photo copyright belongs to the studio.

Legal basis: Article 17 of the Copyright Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) is actually a photographic work commissioned by a photographer. If there is no agreement on the ownership of copyright, the copyright shall be enjoyed by the photographer as the trustee. Photographers do not enjoy the copyright of photos, and can only use photos for free within the specific purpose of commissioned creation. If the photographer uses photos beyond the specific purpose of the entrusted creation without a contract, it will constitute copyright infringement for the photographer. If there is no contract, the photographer can't use the photos at will, and the photographer who is the copyright owner can't use the photos commercially, otherwise it may constitute an infringement on the photographer's portrait right and even privacy.
