Can I publish someone else’s photograph in a magazine?

You may not reproduce or include another person’s photograph in a magazine or other publication without the author’s authorization. Doing so would constitute an infringement of the author’s exclusive rights , particularly the right of reproduction, the right of adaptation, and the right of communication to the public. Typical examples include the use of a photograph in a magazine article, catalogue, or photo collection without prior permission.

However, this restriction does not apply if the photograph has been published under a license or conditions that expressly allow further use, such as certain Creative Commons licenses. In such cases, you must comply with the specific terms of license (e.g. attribution, non-commercial use etc.). Therefore, it is essential to verify the terms of publication before reusing the photograph.
