I've recently discovered I have a strong passion and talent for photography and I want to protect my pictures from whoever might like to claim them for themselves. Unfortunately, I'm only 15 and I don't know the age required for copyrighting things is. Do the pictures need to be in my parent's name or is there a way for me to be the one who holds the right to distribution of my pictures? How does the whole copyright process start? I'm not well educated on this, so please help. Also, please only respond if you're familiar with this field. Thanks!
