Why We Copyright Our Portraits

In 1976, the Federal Government passed a law making it illegal to copy materials protected by a copyright.  These materials include items such as sheet music, books, paintings and professionally created photographs.

The finest craftsmen in the industry make the portraits you will commission us to create.  Our studio invests heavily in training and education to provide the highest level of quality photography found anywhere – and the high quality found in each of your portraits cannot be duplicated or copied without suffering a severe loss of sharpness, color and clarity.  We also find copying our images morally wrong as it denies us our rightful income from the fruits of our labor and creative talents.

Since such a loss would reflect poorly on the reputation of our work, Lieberman Photography has reserved the copyright on each portrait we create.  We retain negatives and/or electronic images from which additional images can be made to our exact specifications.
