Right to use and copyright of photos

Commercial photography can be understood as commissioned creation of works, and the copyright (that is, copyright) is agreed by both parties. If there is no agreement, it belongs to the creator, that is, the studio or the individual. This is an intellectual activity of creation, not a photo.

For the photos, the ownership belongs to the studio, and you bought the right to use them. If the film has been used before, the studio gives you the negative, which can be understood as a punishment for ownership. Nowadays, digital products are basically replicas. That is beside the point.

If you buy the right to use, you can use it freely, but be careful not to infringe on the copyright of others without copyright.

By the way, you have the right to portrait, which is a personal right and cannot be transferred. Even if the studio enjoys copyright, it can't infringe your portrait rights, such as paid use.
