Hi, Candace,
hm, I mean you can not prohibit terrible pictures (see, f.e. a lot of Youtube stuff). As long as terrible pictures refer to a private person as photographer, everybody would blame this particular person and/or publisher. If the copyright reference says "Museum xyz" and these are not the pictures by this museum, I think, the museum could sue the author or publisher for damaging your image.

Frequently images of my institutions are used in publications great and small that have been taken with the author’s personal camera. Recently a publication has come out where this occurred, and the images were terrible.  Does anyone have language in their permission to publish/image use policies that governs this?  I know the logical answer is that the institution must provide all images, but this is just not always possible and/or efficient. I try to work with individuals when I can and not seem too heavy handed – we are small and strive to be accessible, but we also want to ensure that collections are illustrated appropriately.

Thanks,

Candace Perry
