Fairfax photographer John Reid on the common practise of shady photographic competitions:
I’m talking about the increasing use of photography competitions for reasons other than the celebration of fine quality photographic image making.
One of the most common adulterations of the concept of the photographic competition is to use it as a cheap way of building a bank of images. To commission thousands of images from professional photographers would cost hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars but, trick people into giving you their photos in exchange for the chance of winning something (money, camera gear), and you can bring the cost right down.

NSW photographer’s rights »
Andrew Nemeth:
An analysis of legal issues which apply to street photography in NSW Australia, written from a photographer’s perspective, with a focus on what rights shooters have (and don’t have) when it comes to candid photographs of people.
Even though “unauthorised” photography hasn’t been prohibited, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s open slather. Far from it! NSW Defamation and Offensive-behaviour laws still apply, as do common-law doctrines of Nuisance, Trespass, or statutory prohibitions arising out of the Commonwealth Trade Practices Act.
