Who owns the copyright of a picture taken with permission of someone?
The photographer owns the copyright of any photograph unless there is a written and signed agreement with a client that states otherwise. If the photographer is an employee of someone else and being paid for his employment, then the employer is legally the "author" and owns the copyright, under US law. It is quite possible, and often the case, that a person may own the only copy of a photograph but someone else owns the entire copyright but no copies.

This rule applies to any photograph taken on or after 1 May 1969. Even though the client is the owner of copyright, the photographer can rely on his/her right of restraint to negotiate further payment for uses that were not contemplated at the outset.Authorship of photographs is defined in Copyright Act 1968, as amended, Part XI, Division I, Section 208.
