image rights

In short and in plain language

Image rights are the rights to a photo. They also include the rights of the people you can see in it.

If you show images on a website, you usually need the right to use them.

If people can be clearly seen, you also need their consent. This also applies to photos of your team and your customers.

Definition
Image rights cover the rights to a photo and the rights of the people shown in it. Anyone showing images on a website usually needs suitable usage rights and, for recognisable people, their consent. This also applies to team and customer photos.
