Street / public space

For commercial use of an identifiable person, get a release.
Freedom of panorama
Full
Copyright Act 1987 Section 13(2)(d) exempts reproduction and distribution of any artistic work permanently in a public place, including buildings and sculptures, so commercial sale is allowed.
Practical notes
- The Petronas Towers and other landmarks are safe to photograph and sell under the panorama exception.
- Mosques and some temples set dress codes and may restrict interior or commercial photography; ask on site.
