Hi PG Photos,
Can you please explain to the forum members the difference between your Model Release form and the UK standard version as written for The Royal Society of Photographers?
It is Industry standard that The Model Release form, means the model is actually "Releasing" her rights to the images over the rights of the Owner ; that is The Photographer.
The photographer is actually the one who owns the images!!
Although in some cases the model may be given rights to publish images she has posed and paid for. For example, posting these on Adultwork, social media etc.
What do you do with the images you have taken?
Do you ever publish them?
How are they stored?
Where are they stored and for how long?
It is industry standard that the photographer owns the images, except sometimes in the case where he is in the employment of say a newspaper, and he is taking photographs as an employee of that publication.
Can you please tell us a little more about your procedures?
Thank you.
