Absolutely not! And WHY would you do this? You paid hard earned money for these images. Why would you let someone else get for free something you had to pay for?
Similarly, you wouldn't want someone taking your design and selling it to someone else, and pocketing the money for themselves? You worked hard on those designs. You deserve to be compensated for them. You may want to pay the other party a commission on the sale, but you created what was being sold, you deserve the money for it.
Any copying, reproduction, distribution, public display or creation of derivative works of images without specific permission from the photographer, and possibly the original commissioning party, is a violation of Federal copyright law. This includes putting them on a web site.
Just like your blueprints, simply having physical possession of photographs, slides, prints, transparencies or digital files does NOT grant the right to use them and hand them out to others.
Whether we are your photographer on a project or not, if you have any questions or comments about commissioning architectural photography, please feel free to drop us a line anytime. We'd be happy to help!
