I work freelance for several model agencies and Magazines. The biggest job i had last year was Two weeks of shooting models non stop, I also do wedding photography and portfolio shoots for models. I also do a lot of post shoot work on photographs for the agency's and some magazines. Recently i have been working as a video cameraman for a couple of production companies. The work is varied for pure fashion to glamour to wedding and portrait photography, depending on which agency i am working for, The biggest challenge is working outside with models, studio work requires a different skill set completely. Dropping back onto the subject of a subjects permission to use pictures of them in a public enviroment such as an online gallery, the only advice i can give you from my own experience is let them know you are going to do it first, they may have posed for the photo, but may not neccesarily be happy with it being on display. All models i have shot are required to sign a model release even if it is just for the purpose of appearing on a model agency's website or casting books. This relinquishes their rights to the images and assign them to you as the photographer or the agency. Without recieving that permission could end up with you facing some kind of civil action as you mentioned. It does happen very frequently. So the best thing i can say is for anyone displaying portraits of someone in the public domain, ensure that you have the subjects permission before displaying the image, you may feel that you are in the right but all the person did was agree to pose for a photo, it can and has often been percieved as an intrusion of privacy when photographers have gone that extra step and used that photo in a public display. Anyway back to your work, you have some nice pictures going there, the one thing i tend to do when shooting portrait photo's besides the classic head on shot is to shoot several from separate angles as you can see from some of the pictures in the gallery there is only 1 photo that is shot 100% head on. Anyway if there's ever anything you want to ask my contact details are in my profile here. thanks again for the input. tom Loading...
