Why We Copyright Our Portraits

In 1976 the Federal Government passed a law making it illegal to copy materials protected by a copyright. These materials include items such as sheet music, books and professionally created photographs.

The portraits you have commissioned us to create are made by the finest craftsmen in the industry. Our studio invests heavily in training and education to provide the highest level of quality photography found anywhere - and this high quality found in each of your portraits cannot be duplicated or copied without suffering a severe loss of sharpness, color and clarity.

Since such a loss would reflect poorly on the reputation of our work, Perkins Photography has reserved the copyright on each portrait we create. Since it is illegal to have copies made directly from the photographs, we do retain all of your negatives on file, for one year, from which additional images can be made to our exact specifications.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain the very highest levels of quality and integrity you have come to expect from Doug Brooks and Perkins Photography.
