If you are worried about protecting your images from being used by others without your permission you can look into watermarking and learning about metadata on your photos. You can register your images but this isn't something all photographers do. It depends on your level of trust in the world, in my opinion.

There is also the side of your right to sell images of people and places. You can do some research on public domain and have your subjects sign release forms to protect yourself. Googling "Photography Copyright Protection" will bring you ample information and with a little research you should be fine.

Good luck!

Copyright is such a tricky subject - I've written this scenario to help people understand this is issue, mainly for my existing and potential clients. Let me know what you think... http://goo.gl/lckCm
