Look, I left the money as arranged under the tree with the purple bow-tie on it, please return the pictures and ‘implements’ as per our prior agreement. This has caused great distress to me personally and also to the hamster who, may I remind you, has a young family.
Just a question to the ones here that use model release forms.
Do you pay people to sign them?mdebets wrote:

Do you pay people to sign them?No, I expect the model’s rates to include a signed model release.
Here is a link to an article for UK Photographer’s Rights:

I was more thinking in the line of photographing people on the street, not models, who you would pay anyhow.
This thread isn’t making much sense anymore now that Tara deleted all her questions. might be something to think about Tara, eh, before inviting us to respond to your questions.
I’ve both asked for, and signed model releases on the street.
I signed for a guy who was doing a book on santarchy, and other crazy santa events. i was dressed up as santa, having a rest in a deck chair under the brooklyn bridge, in the middle of hundreds of other santas. no money offered; none expected. we had a little conversation; he took some photos of me; explained for a book he’d need a release, i signed and that was that.
As for asking… it’s really hit or miss. how i work on the street is i usually make eye contact with the person i’m shooting, and as i lift my camera i’m looking for body language that gives consent. I’ll show them (yes, shooting digital in this context) and we have a little chat. i ask permission to share their photo (and sign form); some say yes, most no. generally it’s all down to vibe. Like everything else in photography it’s 110% communication.
There’s quite a debate among travel photographers about paying for releases… I get the sense that it screws things up for the next traveller / photographer along… people come to expect to be paid to be photographed. On the other hand, in very very poor countries, what’s a few bob. I dunno…

Jeez this is nuts…
Folks, I’m going to lock this thread so as not to have you wasting anymore time on it by mistake.
