Christine Summers wrote: If a model doesn't have his/her limits set before showing up to a shoot then that is their problem. Pure and simple. Hell, a smart model will set up those limits before a shoot even happens. If you're the kind of person that can be "coerced" into doing something that you later regret then you really shouldn't be a model. PERIOD. It's called having a backbone and using your brain.

Aug 07 06 07:07 am Link i think you should take the fee that you were going to charge them and have the model apply it to some good ol couples therapy..... seriously. you should be careful,did you see desperate housewives episode when gabriel posed nude and carlos went to get her pics back, the photographer got a good a##-whooping. Karma has a way of working out the universe, give her the image back and take a better shot with a better model. I would tell her that she can come pick up all the images in person, but she must bring her BF. when they come, in fornt of both of them, explain what this cost you both in time and in resources. Maybe she shouldn't be modeling if she has an irrational BF Aug 07 06 07:18 am Link HEY TELL HIM I COPIED THE IMAGE OFF YOUR PAGE BEFORE THEY CAME UP WITH WATEVER YOU CHARGED THEM AND I WANT $500 SENT IMMEDIATELY THRU PAYPAL TO DELETE IT:-) Aug 07 06 07:24 am Link I note one detail that no one else has mentioned: once posted to the 'net, there is no way to expunge the image. At the very least it is still in the archives of all the network catalogues, including the Wayback Machine, and at the worst it has been stolen and is up on hundreds of OTHER websites around the world. This would be the very first thing I'd point out to the BF: there is no physical way you, he, or anyone else can possibly recall an image once posted to the 'net. THEN I'd ask if he was prepared to pay the suggested fees just to remove the images from YOUR useage.

Do they not understand that on the Internet, there is NO WAY to be completely sure that there are no copies of the files in existence, anywhere? Even if they do buy back that photo, how many of us have it sitting in our caches right now? Aug 07 06 07:34 am Link Well if the model is the one paying, and she's trying to raise money by working overtime...would she be interested in doing a paid shoot? : ) Aug 07 06 07:38 am Link She's not nude though, it's implied nude. And it's artistic. I mean really, who is going to jerk off to that? Aug 07 06 07:43 am Link Craig Thomson wrote: Do you own stock in Vaseline or something?

Just because the major department stores had a policy of accepting returns after the sale as a customer courtesy, does not indicate that all companies must adopt this model of business. Even the major department stores are rethinking and changing their policies regarding returns.

If you decide you really cant wear the shoes with anything else or you made an impulse purchase and the shoes really aren't you, you go back and Nordstrom's takes the shoes and gives you a refund....even if you've worn them for a week. Aug 07 06 08:36 am Link Christine, If the department store has a policy that allows returns as part of the marketing plan and overall business strategy, that is a whole different animal. But, if there is no stated return policy, then legally there is no return policy. Aug 07 06 08:44 am Link I wonder what would happin if I walked in to the Virgin mega store cafe in SF and demanded to have my image taken down off of the wall. What would happin if I told John Blair I wanted all my nude images back... Maybe if I robbed a bank or three I could buy back all the unsold copies of the book. If a model is just begining and only has a few images out then she can buy back the so called rights to them and hope all the internet copies don't haunt her but their is a point when you can't go back, too bad, your nekked ass is out there and that is the what you chose to do so learn to live with your desision.

Aug 07 06 08:52 am Link Hahaha I'm telling you, I've always wanted a pair of wings! However I would prefer mine to look like the Victoria's Secret wings...now those are hardore. Aug 07 06 09:22 am Link I'm just gonna throw out there that comparing the transaction between a photographer and client to the sale of goods at a department store is a little unrealistic. Aug 07 06 09:29 am Link Haha what gave you that idea? Aug 07 06 09:39 am Link |
