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.

How much time and effort will it take for everyone to return? Elena Guseinova analyzes the photo of the week
On February 20, Ukraine managed to return 11 Ukrainian children who had been abducted by Russians. The transfer took place in the evening at the border between Ukraine and Belarus, in the Volyn region. The photo by Roman Pylyp was taken during this return. There are no signs of disaster.
