Photography Asked by Tom Nollan on December 4, 2020
We are a small flooring contractor, recently finished two project as subcontractors of a big company.
The whole project was completed by us, the big company just gave us the project.
We have never signed any contract with them, none a word.
Only thing, we received was a confirmation email for the job.
We took photos of the work we’ve done and posted them on social medias. The big company sent us threatening email that if we don’t remove the photos of their project, they will sue us.
I understand this is their project, as the client paid them and they paid us and etc but we have done all the work.
Can you advise, can I post photos taken by us of the project we’ve executed or it is really illegal?
Thanks
I don't know if you are in the US or not. Here in the US copyright law almost takes a back seat and to make and file a claim cost money. You were asked to take down the images for two reasons, #1 You didn't ask their permission to take pictures, #2 If they wanted pictures to display on social media of the final product, they would hire a pro to take them, they want the best quality images to represent their product.
