Yet another thread about releases...
...ok, so a friend of mine shot with a photographer yesterday. I won't get into the details of what he did that was incredibly unprofessional so much to the point that even I was embarassed. Anyhow, she did do topless implied and WHY she though she could hide her areolas with the sides of her arms, I have no idea. Whether and actual nipple is showing, I have no idea as the photos are too small. So, my question is this, lets assume for a moment that this makes her uncomfortable the showing of her areolas is unacceptable. How would a model go about protecting themselves from these types of "bloopers" from being used? I've had shots like these but it is soooo barely visible that I've been able to easily clone them out without anyone knowing. But these are quite obvious the photos in question. Thoughts?

Gap tooth, pubic pluck marks on bikini shoots blah blah blah. If the isn't keen on bits showing get her a yashmak or tell her to keep her tits under cover. Aug 20 06 06:46 am Link haha...I agree. There really isn't much she can do. But I've seen models bring photographer releases that make statements about not being allowed to publish/post any photos that show nipples, areolas, and genitalia. I was just wondering how practical that is. And Studio, I'm sorry you felt compelled to open the thread. Next time put your finger in a sling and maybe the accident won't happen.  But I feel for ya man. Trust me, with all the garbage that gets posted, I felt weird starting this one. Seriously, the stuff she said he tried to do...man...all I kept saying was that she should have just called me and I'd have come picked her right up.Aug 20 06 09:45 am Link There really isn't much she can do. But I've seen models bring photographer releases that make statements about not being allowed to publish/post any photos that show nipples, areolas, and genitalia. I was just wondering how practical that is. A release would certainly help, but it wouldn't absolutely prevent the photographer from publishing the photos (if the photographer was unethical). If it's a serious concern, I would recommend not posing topless at all--why tempt fate? In other words, if it would be upsetting to have photos published with part of your breasts showing, then don't pose with any of your breasts showing. Aug 20 06 01:53 pm Link I really have no idea as I've never run into that sort of situation. The chances I would be working with someone that uptight are someplace between rare and non existant. Let her know that if she takes off he shirt and bra, there's a good chance 'something' will show, that's why it's called semi nude. Does she really understand this modeling thing?

Certainly when it concerns a stranger. In the end, all I asked was a question. Even if she had a "release" that wouldn't have done much about him pulling himself out to show her that he shaves. Now THAT is comedy! Aug 20 06 04:27 pm Link I was once asked not to publish any images where anything 'popped out'. I said OK. Perhaps she could do the same!?!

As for walking about the door...it was a location shoot that they carpooled to. And it's hard for me to bitch at her about this because *I* do this all the time. I often suggest carpooling. It's a way of breaking the ice and often helps insure that they'll make it on time since I'm driving  And you know what...if I was an asshole, I could some pretty bad things too and there wouldn't be much they can do about it other than to assault me. I did share some advice that she should stopped the shoot...any excuse and make a phone call to as many people as it takes until someone can pick her up. Sorry for wasting your time, it wasn't my intention. The original question was not so much about what happened on THAT shoot but what she or anyone can do to protect themselves in the future...legally. Obvious answers of course are, don't do it. Sometimes people need to make mistakes to learn. Like me. Now I know to make my threads more exciting so as to not get a yawn from. Does this help?

Aug 20 06 07:39 pm Link Forgot all about the pasties Aug 20 06 08:18 pm Link If she doesn't want anything showing, she should keep her clothes on This's another reason "implied" nudity is a bad joke Aug 20 06 10:39 pm Link |
