We are pleased to announce that our President & CEO, Joe Naylor, recently participated in an insightful webinar hosted by The Artist Management Association (AMA) on June 26th, 2024. The webinar, titled "Copyright: Valuing Your Work," focused on the critical aspects of copyright and best practices for rights retention in the creative industry.

Joe Naylor joined a distinguished panel of experts, including:

• Juliette Wolf-Robin, National Executive Director of APA National

• Shelly Waldman, Food & Lifestyle Photographer

The webinar covered essential topics for artists, representatives, clients, and producers, including:

• The importance of copyright and why it's valued

• Strategies for setting appropriate usage fees

• Retaining promotional rights

• The significance of registering images with the copyright office

• Educating production companies about usage fees

• Understanding agency contract terms related to usage and self-promotion

This event provided valuable insights into protecting creative work and optimizing its commercial potential. It was particularly informative for photography representatives championing usage for their artists, unrepresented artists, and industry professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of copyright issues.

By participating in this webinar, ImageRights continues to demonstrate its commitment to educating and empowering the creative community in matters of copyright protection and valuation.
