Taking pictures during Luminosity events.
The Luminosity events are a marvelous opportunity for photographers. The venue and its
visitors form a colourful and stylish mix favoured by many photographers. There
are however a few rules and regulations in effect meant to keep things fun and
within boundaries.
Below you will find our rules regarding making a photographical registration of
the festival, how people need to interact with photographers and vice versa.
A difference will be made between objects and people.
Authorization must be formally granted for
video recording and for the use of pictures and photographs. If you are
planning to bring professional equipment to the event it’s required to formally
ask permission to Luminosity Events Foundation.
A) Venue and objects
1) It is PROHIBITED to record the following locations
and people before, during and after the event in any
way:
B)
People.
You as a visitor of our festival are considered a special object of interest
and a keen subject for photographers. Some of you don't have any problems with
that, others just want to relax.
1) Visitors turned photographer are usually recognisable through their official
visitor's wristband. This wristband is worn on the right wrist, as specified by
the house rules.
If this is not the case and the photographer in question is on festival grounds
please warn Security and/or a Staff member or a steward.
When in doubt, always warn Security and/or a Staff member or a steward, even
outside festival grounds.
2) Most professional and semi-professional photographers keep a stock of
business cards at the ready: make sure you get one.
When someone needs to be spoken to about his/her manners or
lack thereof, data like that can prove quite valuable.
3) Make yourself clear on whether you want to be photographed or not. If the
photographer insists or takes pictures regardless of what you indicate, warn
Security and/or a Staff member, or a steward.
4) Portrait rights are personal, but only becomes an issue when the picture is
going to be published. This is an important difference compared to just
snapping a picture and then leaving it unpublished.
You can however resist photography of your person on grounds of privacy.
A photographer has in this matter no right to take a picture,
this right has to be given each and every time someone wants to take a picture.
You can deny publication in any way, including the Internet due to Portrait
Rights.
The photographer can't publish the work unless permission has been given by the
subject and Luminosity Events Foundation.
Keep in mind: what's been published on the internet,
usually stays on the Internet, for an indefenate
period of time.
Luminosity Events Foundation and its members are not liable in any way for
infractions on Portrait Rights as mentioned in Dutch Copyright Law 1912,
article 19-21.
Staff and co-workers of Luminosity Events Foundation are an exception to these
rules.
They are allowed to use and publish any photo’s made by photographers.
The
organization reserves any right to use, edit and publish photo’s made by
photographers without financial compensations.
