This is an article about legal battles regarding Vivian Maier’s photographs. I have mixed feeling about sharing her work. On one hand i think that it is a violation of her privacy to share the images. This is because we don’t know if she wanted them to be shared. On the other hand, i think that the world deserves to see them because they are beautiful works of art.

Vivian Maeir was a great photographer but her fame didn’t come until after death. She was always private but since she never mentioned what would happen to her photographs I feel that they are fair game. She never said what would happen to the photos after her passing. Because of this I don’t think that she cared enough about her photos as she would have gotten rid of them or given them to someone if they mattered to her at the time.

This article focus on the photographer Vivian Maier’s. She died on April 21, 2009. This article focuses on how people shared her unseen work after she died. People are saying it was wrong of them to sell and show it, because they didn’t have permission from the photographer.

I don’t think her work should be shared because she obviously didn’t want to show her beautiful work so why would we want to go against someone that is deceased. I find that dishonorable and disrespectful, but it technically is the man’s property so he can do whatever he wants with it.

I think that her work should be shown to the public after her death. She had no family so it doesn’t matter who it is given to. Because she has no family it would be better to let it be shown to the public. Because she hadn’t told anybody about her negatives, we have no proof that she did not want them to be shown.

This article is about Vivian Maier, a photographer. She died on April 21, 2009. This article talks about how people shared her work that we don’t know if she wanted them to be shared or not after she passed away. Some people say that it’s not ok for them to be selling photographs from the artist without her consent , especially if she is dead or if we don't know if she just wanted to keep those photos for herself.

I think that usually her work should be shown to the public. However, she didn’t wish for her work to be shown to the public. I think that there was a reason that she hid them away without showing anyone. It seems that she purposefully kept her negatives in a old storage unit and leaving them there. So, because she didn’t want them shown I think that they shouldn’t be open to the public.

This article is about the legal troubles with Vivian Maier’s. I believe the photos shouldn’t have been shown to the public without her permission. But we don’t know enough about if she wanted them shared with the world or not. Even though the photos are good it's still a violation of privacy. So I believe it's not fair to Vivian.

This is about the issue of how John Maloof distributed Vivian Maier's photos after she died. It focuses on how people shared her work after she died. People are saying that it was wrong to sell them. But are saying that it was bad because they didn’t have permission from the photographer. I agree with the people.

Vivian Maier was a photographer in the late 20th century. She work as a nanny. She kept her artwork a secret from everyone. She dies in 2009 at the age of 83. Her images were lost until they her work (more than 100,000 negatives) was found in a storage locker at an auction and being sold by the people who had found them.

This is an article about legal cases of Vivian Maier’s photographs. I’ll say that I support both sides. This violation of privacy is illegal because we don’t know whether Maier wants her image to be shared or not. However, there is a good thing about sharing these images. This is because we can now see these beautiful art works.

Vivian Maeir was a photographer whose photos were not revealed to the public until after her death. She was a very private person and she never shared her photos but she didn’t ever say what she wanted to happen to the photos after her death so legally they are whoever found them. She never shared her photos with anyone and she was very private, therefore nobody knows what she would’ve wanted to have done with them Comments are closed.
