There are an number of areas to be taken into consideration when looking at the leagal and ethical considerations surrounding the presentation of images.
Thought must be taken when a shot is of a person or belonging personal to someone in ensuring confidentiality where requested, this is often overcome by getting a subject to sign a disclaimer stating that they authorise the images to be published or used in a number of presentation methods.
Another side to this is presenting images of minors, usually children under the age of 16yrs and ensuring authorisation to use any related images.
It may be necessary to copyright your images or ideas presented through photography with the Intellectual Property Rights Office to protect your images and prevent anyone else from playgarising an indicuals work.
Obscenity and indecent exposure should also be taken into consideration, especially when putting on an exhibition or publishing work so as not to offend the viewer. This type of work should be promoted with a note on any promotional literature to ensure that people attending are made aware of any themes in the photography that may be found offensive.
