[-*meh*-]

I got the boys school photos back and they fantastic this year.

I had purchased the full pack for both boys, plus the sibling pack but honestly the sibling photo is a bit meh where their individual photos are much better.

Which has left me in a bit of a bind because i had worked out who was going to get what in the photos pack and now everyone wants the singles shots...

if i had of purchased extra shots at the time they would have been $10 according to my list but i don't know if i can purchase after the fact and to be truthful i don't want to pay that price.

Does anyone know if i can scan in the photos and get copies printed off myself if i purchased the pack?

Our school photographers are really pushing online sales this year. Some classes have got individual little photos with a code on so you can go online and order more photos. I'm sure if I empty DD's bag I'll find her photo/code lol.

Just google the company and see what you can order online.

i looked on the thing that came back with the photos and there is no shoot code so i am assuming that our school isn't one that is able to do that... and i can't find anything on their site about reprints etc.

On the actual original order form it says that orders after the date will incur a $12 search fee but i don't know if thats just for kids who didn't order on the day but sent in orders after.

I'm 99% sure that the company will have a copy right. So you could but it technically wouldn't be legal.

Can you? Yes

Are you allowed to? Probably not

If it were me, would I do it anyway? Yes

It's a breach of copyright.
Why not jsut call them for extra prints or pay a one off fee for a high res images or two which may very well cost you less than ordering extra prints.

Yep.

I don't know if school pics are different, but we got professional photos done which cost a bloody fortune. I wanted a copy of one picture each for my Mum and MIL but we didn't have the $198 per picture, so I took our copy in to a photo shop (a Kodak one I think) and she copied it for me.

I'm sure the photographer would have preferred we didn't, but I got what I wanted for $20-odd instead of $400.

Disclaimer to keep the peace with professional photographers: we did purchase a canvas and two framed pictures but couldn't justify $200 each on one for our mothers.

Yes you can do that.

Its not technically a breach of copyright. You arent copying these to make a commercial concern from them. You arent claiming to have taken these photos yourself and as such making money from these claims.

All you are doing is copying what you already have in your possession.

You arent going onto their website and downloading other photos that you havent already paid for.


oh, and you cant get them copied professionally either. That breaches copyright when the other company makes money off these photos. (well the other place isnt supposed to)

I'm going to remember this justification next time I go to the supermarket... "I am not paying for theses chicken fillets, because I already spent too much on the rest of my groceries, ok?"... yes, that should keep the peace.

This! Just because you cant "afford" something doesnt mean it is okay to rip someone off as that is exactly what you are doing. If you dont want professional photos taken in the first place then fine. But if you do then you have to agree to the conditions governing their copyright. Photographers generally have to earn a living too!
