LO2:Explain the legal and ethical issues relating to product ideas

Legal
For legal issues concerning I had to make sure all the photos I add onto each page, I have put copyright on in Adobe Photoshop. this is to make sure if someone does use one of my images it can be stolen and passed off as theirs as it will have my copyright on it, this protects all the images I upload. I need to make sure that if one of the photos isn't mine, that I credit it in the description of the photo - this is so I don't get sued in any way. the main legal issue with making a photography portfolio website, is the data protection act which means I will need to get any models in my photos consent to put these images online for anyone to see. a consent form will get their consent for all uses of the images and will protect me from getting sued if they suddenly change their mind.

Ethical
as with one section of my website has photos from a climate strike I will make sure their isn't any libel of anyone in them, as that person might see the image and sue me, so by checking it means I wont be sued. and the last ethical issue I will make sure to cover is that the models in my images are a mix of genders, ages, sexualities and races. this is to make sure no one feels left out in any way and so my work is inclusive to all people.
