Q: Can I use a picture of myself with a camera (brand visible) on my photography business card or should I cover the brand?
A:
To be safe cover the brand.
Consult with an attorney for a legal analysis of your case.
A: You can use a picture of yourself with a camera on your photography business card, even if the brand of the camera is visible. Generally, there is no legal issue with using a camera brand in promotional materials or advertising, as long as you are not implying any endorsement or affiliation with the brand without their permission. However, if you have concerns about using the brand on your card, you can always cover it or remove it in the design.
