Re: Foreign & usa copyright question
Assuming that we are talking about photos created within the past several years, the short answer is YES.
Both the U.S.A. and the U.K. are members of a copyright treaty called the Berne Convention. It provides, in general, that a work that is protected by copyright in one Berne Convention country is protected in all.
