For the photographers out there, model release

Postby Idnad » Thu Dec 11, 2003 3:46 pm

I found a girl locally that will let me take pictures of her and she is flat out awesome looking. I want to make her sign a release that allows me to publish explicit photos for profit. What should the release contain in it, does anyone have one that can be emailed and printed out? I plan on paying her, so what would be a decent rate to pay for that type of photography work? Sorry if this isn't appropriate for the boards just know you guys are pretty savvy on this stuff and would love to get some input on this before we get a hotel room. Thanks in advance.

Not totally sure, might just wait a few years when her stripper days are behind her and she is trying to forget about her past.

the rate dependson how long you need her for. the going rate for this kind of work is 500 for the day, or 50-100 an hour.

your model release needs to be very specific, and you should have a third witness to sign as well.

Thanks, does anyone know where I can get a model release at?

We talked some about it today, I didn't mention a price but she isn't very much into having the pictures "get out" so I will have to either drop down on how much I pay her or pay her the 500, get a release signed and make sure she is ok with it all.

I am going to have to get at least one shot for this post though. She's a redhead 5'9". I think she's hot, but she is "exacty" my type. Well I like them shorter, 5'0" to 5'3" ish, but this girl has a set of leggs that more then make up for her being taller then me.

Gonna shoot stills with my Minolta Dimage Xt and DV with a Sharp VL-WD450U . The Dimage I have to struggle with to get shots that aren't blurry. I will do my best, even though I just take pictures for a hobby and really can't comprehend what you guys do to get these great shots.

go to a photo store and pick a book on wedding photography, something like 'business of wedding photography' by steve stint. it has a sample model release.

Well she is flat out against me posting any pictures of her anywhere. We talked long and hard about a lot of stuff, she not gonna budge on that. The bright side, she isn't a prospective model anymore, I gotz a girlfriend! Gratz me!

You actully don't legally need a release, you own the copyright to the photographs. It will just help you down the track as evidence to present in your favour when she sues you for trying to mess up her life through some photos you tricked her into doing.

a release is needed to:

a) prove legal age when the photos were taken

b) allow for the picts to be used for self promotion, without further compesating the model..


copyright notwithstanding, you cant sell someone's image without their consent.
