There are several boilerplate releases to be found on the web.
Remind me this weekend and I can send you some of the ones I use.
They basically say that I own the photos and have the rights to
use them for any legal commercial purpose. However, I also have
a section where the model can put any restrictions that she
wants on their use such as not posting them with her name,
not posting them on particular sites (facebook and such)
Thanks, Larry! I appreciate the help.
I'm not sure how much I'll be around the computer over the weekend, as
my birthday happens to fall on Sunday. So, I may be out and about. But,
as long as my remaining brain cells cooperate, I'll try to jog your
memory on it.
On the subject of a chaparone, I have had good luck with
portrait parties, where I set things up and photograph
several friends in one session. Most of the work is in setting
things up, so it is little extra work once things are set up
to run a couple other models in front of the camera. You also
get some great benefits from people interacting with their friends.
Also, even if one flakes, you still have someone to photograph.
It's also a great way to quickly build up your portfolio, because
you get several new models in a day, rather than just one.
A photo party sounds like a great idea, though I'd probably need to
arrange it among a different social circle from the one I typically run
in. I've done precious little (actually zero) networking among area
photographers, so I just don't know all that many people who'd be
inclined to attend such an event. But, if I can get a few model shoots
under my belt and start making a few mutual acquaintances, I can see
that being a great source of photo opportunities.
There is a bit of cultural and artistic activity in the lower-town area
of the city just east of me (Paducah), but it tends to be a bit insular.
If I can get a foot in that door, I'm sure I'll have all manner of
opportunities. I hope to be able to put together a decent collection in
the not too distant future, and maybe put together a small exhibit at
one of the local artists' haunts. With any luck, a few good modeling
shoots will bring about that day a little sooner.
