The photographer and not the subject is the owner of the copyright. So life+70 it would be with regards to the photographer. So if a grandparent photographed their baby grandchild and died shortly afterward, when the grandchild was in their 70’s the photo would enter the public domain.
True. I forgot about that fact and was thinking as if the child owned the copyright somehow
Why isn't it work for hire? Assuming a professional photographer rather than a family snapshot of course.
