Permission

Hello All,
I have a question about taking photographs of buildings on private property if I am on puplic property such as a roadway? The reason I am asking is there are some beautiful stone buildings where I live. I was thinking of photographing them and if possible make a calender with them. Is this something that can be done with out the landowners permission?
Thank you,

Commercial use might be a problem, if you going to try to make money I'd try for a model release or is it property release first. Ask a lawyer!

Yes if for personnel use.
Could get sued if for commercial use. Check into Korean War Memorial.

What you're describing is fine, legally. However, if a large, angry man emerges from the house carrying a baseball bat, all legalities go out the window. Sure, you could win a lawsuit against him - when you get out of the hospital - but is it worth getting that picture?

No. You will need a property release if you are selling the calendars.

Thank you, I thought that I would cover my butt and get a release, but I was wondering if you could take the pictures with our the home owners permission.

A quick reply:
- Different states have different laws, some of which are nebulous.
- You can stand on public property and photograph the house, but watch out for the baseball bat.
- If you use it commercially, best to get a signed release, or perhaps a good lawyer.
- Visit this lawyer's site: www.krages.com There's a PDF there with some good info and his book is worth the money, IMHO. The book, however, does not and cannot address every issue that might arise.

No legal advice here. But common sense and courtesy suggests asking for permission.
Years ago a photographer used a boat I owned as a backdrop for a brochure for foul weather gear. She did not ask permission - which I would have gladly given. When a friend showed me the brochure I was not a happy camper. Yet, I would have been flattered had she asked permission.

I don’t recall google earth street view asking my permission to film my house. Zillow forgot to ask also. The guy on the other side of the tracks didn’t give permission to the policeman photographing his drug deal to use in requesting a search warrant for his house. If you are in a public place you can photograph a building with few restrictions such as voyerism and such. Common courtesy prevails and notice that you can’t photograph in places controlled are enforceable if you are notified and it is prohibited. Examples; inside the boundaries of military bases, courtrooms, some National or State monuments when prohibited and for commercial purposes.
