Q: I am a studio photographer. Take out the photos taken by the studio and sell them to the photographer. Is this illegal?

The photo studio can sue you for theft, but it is illegal if the amount is large. Only the copyright belongs to you, the portrait right belongs to the customer, and the ownership belongs to the photo studio, because the photo studio makes a profit by selling the right to use it. When you get paid for taking pictures of the studio, you sell the ownership of the photos to the studio. So it is illegal to sell photos privately.
