It's not an infringement of portrait right to advertise or show your work with your own model photos, is it?

1. About the exhibition. You are the author of photographic works. According to the Copyright Law, the right to display artistic works belongs to the owner of the original works. You have the right to hold exhibitions of your own works, which will not infringe on the portrait rights of models.

2. About the works being used in advertisements.

First of all, it depends on whether there is a specific agreement on the use of model photos in your contract. If there is an agreement for photographers to use advertisements, then according to the contract, the reasonable use of photos will not infringe on the portrait rights of models.

Secondly. If the contract between the two parties does not stipulate whether the photos can be used for advertising, the author has no right to use the photos for advertising without the consent of the model.

Thirdly, if the two parties agree in the contract that photos can be used for advertising, and agree on the way, scope and time of use, the author must use them reasonably according to the agreement. If it goes beyond the agreed scope, it will still be considered as a violation of the model's portrait rights.
