Is it Ok to ask?
For a copy of the model release form after everyone signs it? Or is it really necessary of a model to have a copy? Just a question thanks ; ) Nov 20 06 09:27 am Link sweetgirl_inlove wrote: I have copies from all of my paid shoots. I have some copies from my TFP shoots. Nov 20 06 09:28 am Link Most of the time I've been offered a copy. Several times we've just signed two and I take one and they take one. At any rate, no it shouldn't be a problem to ask for a copy for your record. Nov 20 06 09:29 am Link I have no idea Nov 20 06 09:29 am Link Daniela V wrote: really? maybe I should start getting copies Nov 20 06 09:30 am Link Daniela V wrote: I have copies from all shoots....TFP and paid Nov 20 06 09:33 am Link Nora_Neko wrote: It's good to have them "just in case"...but I've never been in the position where I had to pull out the copy and say to the photographer that he or she was using the pictures inappropriately...

Nov 20 06 09:42 am Link I generally have two copies @ signing, one for me and the other for the model Nov 20 06 01:04 pm Link Daniela V wrote: D is super hot Nov 20 06 01:05 pm Link sweetgirl_inlove wrote: You need a copy. Believe me, you do. Nov 20 06 01:05 pm Link Both Cat and D are really super hot.

Nov 20 06 01:10 pm Link I always mail out a copy with the CD. PAid or TFCD. The model always needs to know what they signed. Nov 20 06 01:13 pm Link Mark Reese Photography wrote: Thanks!

I always take multiple releases to a shoot and I don't understand why some models say they don't need a copy..... better to be safe, whether it's tfp or paid shouldn't make a difference Jon www.jonroberts.co.uk Nov 20 06 01:20 pm Link Lyndzi Joy wrote: hot blondes have to stick together!

Nov 20 06 04:43 pm Link sweetgirl_inlove wrote: I have the model fill out 2 Nov 20 06 05:15 pm Link I always obtain a copy. And I READ it prior to signing it. Must know what you're signing. There could be some funny clause hidden in there that allows for something strange and you might not catch it if you assume that its the same as every other release that you've signed... Nov 20 06 08:49 pm Link If you sign a binding legal document, you should have a copy. Nov 20 06 08:51 pm Link Steven Barrett wrote: Stated succinctly, clearly and correctly. Nov 20 06 08:55 pm Link Steven Barrett wrote: I was just about to say that! Nov 20 06 08:56 pm Link I need to start asking for an extra copy from now on. I signed a release where it said I'd get the pictures in 2 weeks and well.... its been a lot longer than that. But, what can one expect from TFP? *sigh* And as if that complaint hasn't been made a billion times. lol Definitely going to start keeping a release file.

I'm just going to be patient and hope I get my pictures. *twiddles thumbs* Nov 20 06 09:20 pm Link sweetgirl_inlove wrote: Yes - it is okay.

That's my opinion. Nov 21 06 08:53 am Link Steven Barrett wrote: Absolutely and it should be signed by the photographer. Nov 21 06 08:57 am Link I have yet to have someone ask for one even when I offer. I deal more with amateurs though a couple of professionals. What I have been asked for repeatedly is an explanation of the release. Hell, when I first read it I wouldn't have signed it. I thought I would post this link: http://www.apogeephoto.com/mag4-6/mag4- … ases.shtml I now have a copy of it next to the release. Nov 21 06 09:02 am Link Mark Reese Photography wrote: SO hot that my monitor melted... Nov 21 06 10:38 am Link I always give an extra copy of my release form to the model. It's not a signed copy, but its an exact copy of the release in case she ever has any questions. Nov 21 06 10:44 am Link |
