Q: Do we get copyrights?

A: There is often confusion between Copyright and Print Release. Copyright legally belongs to the creator of an artwork or photograph—your artist or photographer. A Print Release, on the other hand, grants clients the right to print their images however and wherever they choose. However, it does not permit editing or altering the original work. I do not sell the Copyright to any of my creations. However, you receive a full Print Release, allowing you to print and share your images freely and indefinitely. The Print Release also allows you to use any print lab of your choice—you are not required to use my professional lab. Please note that I am not responsible for any discrepancies or quality issues that may arise from using an external lab that I have not personally vetted.
