Major Tv Network Used My Photograph In A New Documentary Without Asking
Location: Virginia (but used to live in NYC)
I did my undergrad in photography and spent a few years in the industry before deciding it wasn’t what I really wanted long term. I’m well into my new career and I had an old colleague text me yesterday with footage from a new documentary produced by a major TV network where they used an image I took during undergrad of one of the folks being interviewed in this new documentary. The image was taken in a studio, all under my direction and it’s not available for licensing on any sites like Getty. It was for a school project (arts university in NYC) and from what I understand I have sole rights to the usage even if it’s not registered as copyrighted material. Is this TV network legally allowed to use my image without asking me or paying a licensing fee? Part of the reason I left the photo industry was because of the financial losses I experienced and being constantly taken advantage of my clients so it hits extra hard. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Reddit
