34 poles of creativity: copyright in photography
The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers, together with legal experts from the Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations (UAPI/IP Office), has initiated the development of a suite of standard contract templates for photographers to use in their daily work. This package of documents will include licensing agreements, agreements on the assignment of economic rights, as well as agreements on the payment of royalties and author's remuneration. It is essential to adapt these templates to various fields of photography, as each niche has its own unique needs and operational specifics that must be addressed from a legal perspective. In addition, practical guidelines are planned to assist photographers in navigating any potential copyright disputes or challenges.

“I don't know when you'll get this message,” my friend writes to me. ‘You're always on time,’ I reply. Photo with a story by Olena Huseynova
I saw her smile. And she saw that I saw her. And that I was smiling too. We talked about why we had stopped pausing before saying something that might scare someone. And about why we talk so much, but have so few stories to tell. We talked for a long time. She moved around the apartment. She turned on the light in the kitchen. She turned off the light in the kitchen. And turned it on in the living room. And then her phone ran out of battery.
