Acknowledge Subjective Expression — Acknowledge Subjective Expression

Physical resemblance and visual interpretation can be highly subjective, much like the creative choices in photography. S. Copyright Office notes that while photographs of the same subject may share a similar perspective, each photographer makes distinct creative choices.

Furthermore, the Office does not register photographs that lack a sufficient amount of creative expression. Recognizing this inherent subjectivity helps publishers avoid presenting a superficial visual resemblance as an absolute, objective fact.
