- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
It's not usually taking the picture it's how you use it. This doesn't seem to fit commercial or retail use, where the photographer is making money and usually property or model releases are signed. But the photographer did benefit financially from using the photo.
Maybe this is why contests, at least here, seem to often require model and property releases. To prevent something like this from happening.
I'm not sure if the horse owner can expect that people won't take pictures of this horse if it's along the fence along a well traveled path/sidewalk. But I would lean toward getting permission to use a photo of someone or their property for anything other than personal use.
I wouldn't think anything can be done about it now if it's not illegal to take pictures of her property from a public area. If the horse owner wants to prevent this I suppose she'll need to have a tall fence put up along that walkway or she's probably going to continue to have looky-loos (especially now wanting to see the horse make this face!).
