| Just a quick question. We know that working with models, most of us will make sure they sign a model release, even in the event that you do not use the photo. So you have your set prices with models whom only get advertising rights, plus prices for models who want full rights. Now my question is, you are working with some one who is not a model and they want photos for business cards, or photos just for personal use...do you make them sign a model release (or photo release) stating what uses they are allowed for the photo? (ie...they are not allowed to sell publication rights). |

A model release is for YOU, the photographer. SO that you can use the images in your marketing, competitions, etc.
As for clients, if you give up the full res file it doesn't matter what you had them sign, you'll have to chase them down if they've done more than you wanted them to do. And you'll be the big meanie bad photog guy if you want more money for say, use on a biz card when all you thought they wanted was a print for their desk at work.

| Yes, any time you photograph a person, you should have some sort of release clarifying the use of the photos. This is done for your protection. |
