Literally every photo anyone ever takes is copyrighted the moment the picture is taken. That’s how copyright law works. You don’t have to have a registered copyright for your work to be protected by copyright law.
I know, but I've gotten prints of my work before and some places would be annoying about whether it was mine or not. Most seemed fine with me maybe having to sign a release.
Just seems like they should require a release for everything they print or none of it. Not this stupid in-between shit of “ohh your photo actually looks good enough to print, we might have to make it harder for you!”
