Street / public space
Yes to photograph; publishing is governed by portrait right (portretrecht)
Non-commissioned portraits may in principle be published unless the subject has a reasonable interest opposing it. Commercial or advertising use of an identifiable person generally needs consent.
Freedom of panorama
Liberal, with one limit
Article 18 of the Copyright Act permits photographing and selling images of works permanently in public space as they are situated there. The accepted limit is that a single copyrighted work must not be isolated as the reproduction's sole subject.
Practical notes
- A crowd shot or a person incidental to a scene is generally publishable; a recognizable individual as the clear subject can invoke portrait right, especially for commercial use.
- Cityscapes and landmark photos are fine to sell; isolating one copyrighted public sculpture as the product's entire subject is the trap to avoid.
Guidance, not legal advice
