Would this picture need it? Even full size, the face is isnt clear or identifiable.
Also, this if for the first 10 pictures for shutter Stock if that makes any difference



Edit: This isnt a pic for any current challenges or even an out take from one.

No, you wouldn't need a release for that, even for stock.

BTW, model releases aren't necessary on DPC. In general, you won't need one as long as you're not selling it.

Yeah this is in reference to stock, thanks for info!

Now, if you have any tips for the picture......
hahaha

i wonder though if something as expensive as a race horse may be a managed brand?

anyone know about such things? photo release forms for animals? i've seen them for buildings.

OH!

and another question, for these 10 pictures. Would they care If two are from the Horse Race, another two are from Seattle, two from Mt St Helens, Ect.

Or should they be 10 pictures competely independent of each other?

You might check to see if the colors are registered. Many barns do register their colors (jockey silk pattern) and colors are identifiable. Much like a logo. You may not be able to get past that with stock without the Barn's approval.

What dahkota said; other than that, you do not need to have a theme for your submissions - you can upload any number of any kind of photos.
Also, this one will likely be rejected for the lack of detail, even if it passes the model release scrutiny. (And there's always editorial, although there is not much interest for it)

Well this was a small track, and every race the Jockey's and horses have different colors, numbers , ect.

So i dont think that would be a problem.

What do you mean lack of detail?

If you mean sharpness, the horse is pretty sharp when it is full size.

I believe a race horse could fall under the category of a property release. The race track (or race commission or whatever their name is) should have more information on how photographs of the races / horses may be used / sold.

They have different colors because each race the jockey rides for a different barn.

You might not have an identifiable race car driver, but the car is identifiable by its number and paint. You might not have an identifable football player but you can tell the team by his jersey colors.

right. although the location may not be identifiable to the average user, the track IS private property and your entrance ticket more than likely details the usage limitations of photographs taken on the property.

sucks, 'cause i think it's a great shot and i think it's perfect for stock.

Hmmm...well I'll send it in, and see what happens
 08/03/2006 06:25:32 PM · #14
Another question, as far as the images for applying goes, what kind of pictures do well?

right now im thinking of doing a couple from the horse track, a couple of the seattle skyline, a picture of the space needle (would that be not allowed?), a pic from the harbor, and a couple from Mt Rainier and Mt St Helens

From what I've seen, Kids, business, and technology do real well. The landscapes and cityscapes are saturated on these sites. Be careful with any reconizable landmark too.
