Guys forget about this,
My post is about locations, I do not need advice regarding regulations, you can stay at home thinking about regulations, I will go to shoot…

You posted is in the Business section of this photography forum – For those with a photography business, those who are interested in starting one or photographers interested in changing careers – and you have been given good sound business advice here by its members.

Anyway, good luck with the shoot and should you ever be interested in turning your talent into a career and / or making a living from it, then we are here to help.
Actually, you are right. I didn’t know where to put it….
Is there anyway to move it to fashion?

I have to say I think your attitude kind of sucks, photography may be an art form and all nice and not about regulations for some and if I were brilliant maybe I would be one of those or if my family were rich. However for many it is a business and you have been given some good business advice here. after all you did post in the business section. Now having seen your attitude I would have to say that you would really want to be brilliant to form a carreer from Photography because you clearly do not have the business sense or personality to make it on your own.
You state on your site that you will sell images, so there is commercial uses.
You are planning on doing a location shoot, so you will probably have lighting and models which makes it much different from taking pictures of your mate in the pub. Personally I have cover for up to €4,000,000 should anything happen. what happens if one of your light stands fall over and hits somone?Please tell me, if I were a property owner why would I let you shoot in my property? If anything happens I would end up carrying the can as you don’t have insurance. I don’t get paid and you are not offering abything I really want in return? and your attitude seems to suck.
good luck

I just hope you don’t shoot yourself in the foot. Remind me not to offer any helpful advice in future. Others normally appreciate it Thanks
OK guys,
Sorry if I offended someone or if “my attitude kind of sucks” for someone. I think the problem here is that I did the mistake to post into the business forum as I was looking for different kind of advice. For example, when I asked other photographers for locations, they give ideas but not start to give advices about regulations, etc…
Now, said that, I still believe in my attitude and as you did, I just said what I believe. How do you know that I am using lights or models. If I am using small flash and the models are friends of mine, what makes the difference between this and take photos of your friends in a cafe.
And, not, I am not selling this kind of photos…just abstracts ones…
Thanks for your business advices but as I said I was not looking for that, I never asked about regultaions… (and I have recognized the mistake of posting in the wrong forum section). Does this attitude sucks, why? Because I am honest?
Efren,
The advice regarding insurance protection and the other business type advice is 100% valid
in the context of photographic locations/buildings.Regardless of where you posted this you would have had a similar response.
You should be very glad that the experts here on the site are passing on their hard earned
advice to you. They are only trying to help.Hi Mark,
I thanked everybody for their help, but I gave my opinion too, which is different. I never offended anyone and I have to say that I felt discouragement instead of help.
Everything can need insurance and I can be sued for everything. But if I would have posted a thread asking for locations to go cycling I am sure nobody is going to say that I need to get insurance in case I hit someone…and that’s what I said, that I never asked about regulations, that’s all, just about ideas where to shoot…
But as I said already, I am sorry if somebody feel offended…
Hi Efren. I know where you are coming from and understand that maybe regulations are a different issue rather than non-applicable. I suggested insurance cover, more so as a reminder than of trying to enforce regulations to your shoot. I’m sorry if you felt that you were being pressurised into getting insurance. That was not my intention. Good luck with the shoot and locations.
Hi Efren,
I can understand you feeling discouraged when you get advice that you
didn’t ask for especially when that advice seems to be putting obstacles
in your way rather than encouraging you to suceed.As you proceed through what I hope will be a long and successful life you
will often be given advice, some of it unsolicited and lots of it useless.On the other hand some of it will be extremely valuable and may save you
a lot of time, heartache and/or money.You do not have to act on any advice you are given but I would advise learning
to receive it with grace and how to filter the good from the bad.There’s me handing out more unsolicited advice.
Feel free to ignore my advice but please don’t give me
a hard time for taking the time to offer it.Best of luck with your project and your future.
Cheers.
John.
Edit: To correct spelling mistakes. I am using a netbook for the last few days and you
should see some of the stuff I’ve written. :shock:Hi guys,
Miki, you are right as in some countries there are different regulations than in others. As an example in US a woman sued a microwave company after her dog died while she was trying to dry him in the microwave. In my country the judge will send this woman to the psychiatric but in US she won the case, or at least that’s what I heard…And thanks for your advice, I know you have good intentions :)
5faythe, you are completely right. I have nothing else to say as you said everything. I suppose I just felt discouraged and that’s why I replied this way…

The best one I’ve heard, was a guy suing a company AND WINNING the case, where he was allergic to nuts and the packet of peanuts he ate didn’t state clearly “This product contains nuts”. Crazy or what. :lol: :lol:
