Understand Resemblance Limits — Understand Resemblance Limits

Even when photographs feature the same subject in the same setting, each image can be a distinct creative work. For example, if multiple photographers capture the same subject, each would have a separate claim to copyright based on their individual creative choices.

These choices include the angle, positioning, and lighting used to produce the respective images. Therefore, a visual resemblance between different photos does not mean they share the same copyright owner or origin.
