How to contribute to a commercial gallery-if I sign an exclusive contribution with a genuine gallery, I can't transfer this picture to my friends. Is it true?

Can amateur photographers also enter commercial galleries to sell photos? Yes, as long as you pass the contributor authentication of the gallery. In fact, the contributor authentication is to let you upload some pictures that you think are better, and the editor of the gallery will review them. If you think you are qualified, you can contribute to the gallery. As long as there are works that can be filmed, it is still easy to enter the door. The difficulty lies in whether the uploaded pictures can be sold in the gallery. After all, most of the subjects photographed by amateur photographers are popular, but it is not easy to make money, because there are already many similar works, so it is difficult for you to stand out.

In addition, with the increasing commercialization of galleries, domestic galleries have also strengthened their awareness of copyright protection. Therefore, amateur photographers must have relevant knowledge when uploading their works. Say a few things that are easily overlooked:

If there is a clearly recognizable face in the picture, it may constitute a violation of the right to portrait, so some galleries will ask the model for portrait authorization. There is no need for a timely gallery, and there is also a risk of infringement after the photos are sold.

Some buildings are copyrighted, and buildings photographed separately may constitute infringement. (Foreign designers are more common in contemporary and modern architecture)

I want to try to sign a commercial photo library recently. Can I still sell my own pictures after signing the contract? It depends on what kind of agreement you have signed. If it is the exclusive agreement or exclusive content of the contributor, your pictures can only be sold through the agent platform. If you sign a non-exclusive agreement, such as China Station Cool Luohai, you can sell your own photos in Luohai.

Is it because I signed an exclusive contribution with the genuine gallery that I can't transfer this picture to my friends? Look at this dialectically. If your pictures are exclusive, you can't do business for other friends for a long time. If your friend is not for business but for communication, you can give it to your friend. I can recommend you a commercial gallery. His family is not exclusive, so your investment in his family is more flexible and you can sell the map to others at any time.
