Photographers Rights (for iPhone) is an application that allows you to discover the different rules for photography in different countries. Not in every location photographs are allowed to be taken, nor people can be shot in the streets. What might be allowed in the US might not be allowed in Japan, for example. This application guides you in these countries: US, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Spain, Japan and Italy.

It also contains a phrasebook for photographers in Japanese, French, Spanish, Catalan and Italian. You don’t need to read aloud the sentences, just click on them. The iPhone speaks for you the sentences in the native language of choice. You also have examples of Model Releases and Property/Location Releases that can be sent to your email account. This can be very useful because you can also show these contracts to someone you want to photograph in the spot. It also contains a resume about copyright and Creative Commons licenses, and how you can use them for your photographs.
