PhotographA photograph is a visible image originating from the action of light or other forms of radiant energy upon a photosensitive medium or device. A photograph is a work that retains obvious evidence of one or more photographic images that are predominant in the picture and taken only by the author. A photograph consisting entirely of one’s own or another person’s art form, not of photographic origin, is inadmissible. |
