What is the right to portrait?

Legal analysis: the right of portrait is the right of citizens to agree or disagree with others to use their portraits. The law stipulates that the portrait of a citizen shall not be used without his consent. Portraits and documentary photographic works cannot be published or exhibited in principle, even if they are purely non-profit exhibitions, without the consent of the portrait owner.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 990 The right of personality is the right of life, body, health, name, name, portrait, reputation, honor and privacy enjoyed by civil subjects.

In addition to the personality rights stipulated in the preceding paragraph, natural persons enjoy other personality rights based on personal freedom and personal dignity.

Article 991 The personality right of a civil subject is protected by law, and no organization or individual may infringe upon it.
