i’m having issues with my old highschool/the person who is running the yearbook now. they’re new at it and have no idea what they’re doing yet. we agreed that i would come back this year and take photos of events for the yearbook. i have not missed a single home game this year, and i have taken thousands of pictures. suddenly this person decides they don’t want my help and won’t be using my pictures in the book. this is very much out of left field for me.
knowing this person, there’s a large chance they’ll end up using my pictures anyway. are my images protected by copyright in any way? what can i do if my pictures end up being used in the yearbook?
in the past, we’ve always given photo credit where it is due. last year, me and the usual photographer took 90% of the photos in the book. however, the new yearbook sponsor did not want to give us credit anywhere in the book. i talked to the superintendent and got credit for me and the old photographer. it boils down to the yearbook sponsor not wanting to put our names anywhere in the book or give credit to anyone
