Yes, the Federal Copyright Law states that the images you create are copyrighted from the moment of creation. But, we strongly recommend that you do not depend on that to stop illegal copying of your work. Fortunately, there are a number of very effective steps photographers can take to protect their rights. This document lists and explains 5 such steps.
