Photographing Stained Glass
 

By way of at least partial closure on the question regarding copyright
of the designs here is an update. I emailed two major studios, Willet
& Hauser and Lamb and I am pleased to say that both of their chief
executives gave their blessings to photographs being published subject
to due credit being given to their studios for the works. These are
both studios which have produced relatively modern works which I have
seen and photographed and I am pleased that they are taking what I
think is a sensible and enlightened view. Of course this does not
cover the entire spectrum but bearing in mind that I tend to
specialise in older glass I do not envisage a huge exposure.

Glad to hear that......... both Don Samick and Crosby Willet are terrific
people!

There are many liturgical installations where the churches have no idea who
created the work. And many installations not even signed by the studios.

We even had an instance a few weeks ago on a tour where the church was
unsure and even the major studios were there debating who created the work.
It was wonderful to watch them all together at the installation.

Again I really enjoyed your site. And you need to try to contact the editor
of the SGQ to add some information about your work. Or write an article for
the magazine with your perspective. It might add some further insight to
creating a web site with information on it.
