I am due to shoot some photos of an amateur production of Lionel Bart's "Oliver!". I am now the "official" photographer for the theatre group, and have consent from all the parents of the kids in the group as well.
My question is about the photos afterwards...I want to be selling images from the show to the cast and their families, but just had the thought that there may be copyright issues with that. Especially if I did what I thought I might, which is to make a photo-book of the images that they can buy online (e.g. using Blurb, or similar).
Obviously the Theatre Company have bought the licence to perform the show, but if I do what I planned I am almost "retelling" the story myself with the pictures.
Anyone experience this?
BTW, I am in the UK if it makes any differecnce. Not sure if copyright law is the same in different countries.
Thanks.
