So what is the knowledge about the copyright of photographic works? Photographic works Photographic works copyright 1: Self-created works For self-created works, China's copyright law stipulates that the copyright belongs to the author and the citizen who created the work is the author. That is to say, if a photographic work is shot by a photographer in his own state, as long as the work does not violate the laws of that country and there are no other provisions in the law, the photographer owns the copyright of the work whether it is published or not. This right includes the personal right and property right mentioned above. The works taken by freelance photographers when they go out for sightseeing fall into this category. Copyright 2 of photographic works: works created in cooperation For works created in cooperation, China's copyright law stipulates that the copyright of works created jointly by two or more persons shall be shared by the co-authors. People who don't participate in the creation can't be co-authors. Where a cooperative work can be used alone, the authors may enjoy the copyright of their respective parts, but the exercise of copyright shall not infringe upon the copyright of the cooperative work as a whole.
