$55 to $85 to register a group of photographs just to protect your copyrights. That would be a nearly 55% increase, and that's not acceptable.

The Copyright Office’s proposed fee increase would apply to a group of up to 750 published or unpublished photographs. For nature photographers who register throughout the year, those increases add up.

NANPA is working with ASMP to oppose the increase. Tell the Copyright Office what higher fees would mean for your work. Check out the letter tool you can personalize to generate your letter, then copy it into your own email and send it to the office.

Share this with another nature photographer who needs to know. Our voice is amplified when we speak together.
