Argentina
Argentina has no statutory freedom of panorama, so selling images of copyrighted public art is unsafe, and image rights are consent-first.
Guidance, not legal advice
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Site or location authority for commercial production; no permit for personal street photography
Cost: No permit for personal photography; commercial production needs location permits
Personal photography in public needs no permit. Commercial production typically needs location permits, and government and military sites are restricted.
Drone / airspace
Regulated by ANAC with registration and operating rules; expect restrictions over people and urban areas
For depth, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes to photograph, but image rights are strong: consent is the general rule to capture or commercialize a portrait
Exceptions cover scientific, educational, or cultural purposes and facts of public interest; consent can be revoked.
Freedom of panorama
Restricted (no statutory exception)
Argentine copyright law has no explicit freedom-of-panorama provision. A de facto acceptance that buildings can be reproduced is uncertain and does not clearly extend to copyrighted public sculptures or murals. Treat selling images of recent or copyrighted public artworks as unsafe without permission.
Practical notes
- The safest commercial subjects are buildings and out-of-copyright monuments; modern public sculptures by living artists are the trap.
- A recognizable individual as the subject of a commercial image needs a model release given the consent-first regime.
