tfp's and water mark
hey guys i'm in the process of restructuring my business and i wanted to know if I should watermark the images before i give them to the model. What exactly is the protocal?

Me, I watermark all images that are to be used online for portfolio work, but also offer non-watermarked images if the model signs the contract that states that all online posts must include credit. That's not a "standard" nor is it "non-standard." It's what I do, and it's what models agree to. Nothing more, nothing less. Jul 14 06 09:37 pm Link credit definately water marks can spoil the images also get in the way of cropping etc which i usually have permisson to do but tell them what you want to do and see it its ok with them Personally I have no interest in posing for photos TFP that I can't use! be it water marked too much or really low res etc Jul 14 06 09:51 pm Link Suppose it's the other way around: suppose a model & a photographer like the images they made together at a TFP session, and the photographer decides to put some of the images into his own profile. Should he watermark the image, identifying the model?

In TFP situation, the photographer retains the copyright. It is therefore fine & acceptable for the photographer to watermark the image if he so chooses.
