I’m publishing a book of my photos. Instead of going to the trouble of registering the photos, can I just copyright the book to cover the images as well?
If you own the copyrights to all of the components of the book, the registration will cover all of the materials in it. However, if there is more than one copyright owner involved (e.g., you own the rights to the photos, but someone else owns the copyright to the text), you should register the photos separately.
