Norway
Norway lets you sell images of buildings freely, but a photo whose main subject is a public sculpture is restricted for commercial use.
Guidance, not legal advice
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Site or land manager for commercial shoots and some national parks; no permit for personal street photography
Cost: No permit for personal photography; commercial crews and managed sites can require permission or fees
Personal photography needs no permit. Commercial shoots, crews, and some managed sites need authorization.
Drone / airspace
Governed by EASA rules via Luftfartstilsynet through the EEA; an EU or EEA operator registration is valid
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes to photograph, but publishing a recognizable person generally needs consent under the right to one's own image
Exceptions cover newsworthy images, people less important than the main content, and crowds or public events.
Freedom of panorama
Full, with limits
Buildings may be depicted freely for any purpose including commercial sale. For other public artworks the freedom does not apply when the artwork is clearly the main subject and the use is commercial. Selling a building photo is fine; selling a photo centered on a copyrighted sculpture is not.
Practical notes
- A cityscape or building exterior can be photographed and sold freely.
- A tight commercial shot centered on a copyrighted modern sculpture is the trap; include it incidentally in a wider scene instead.
