Specialized in photographing Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
Began tracking her in 1967
Onassis sued, won restrictions– Eventually 25 feet– News photographs OK; not
for advertising
Beware!
No hidden cameras Using someone’s image to sell a
product or a service Unfairly causing someone to look bad
– Be careful when using a file photo Truthful but embarrassing photos Public but embarrassing
