What to do in case of unwanted photo publication?

Questioner

What can I do if a professional photographer posts a photo of me on an internet site without my permission?

Lawyer

You can use your portrait rights to prohibit publication of the photo if you can demonstrate a reasonable interest.

Questioner

What is a 'reasonable interest'? It concerns a photo of my daughter and she and I both do not want those photos to be placed on a public website. Do we do that with the website in question?

Lawyer

Dear questioner, Often it is a privacy interest. To help you further, it is important to know what kind of photo it is, whether the photo was taken with permission or not, why you want to prohibit placement, etc.
