Models wants unedited image

[rp1512]

<p>First time poster, 6-month reader of Photo.net. I'm a designer and occasionally take pictures for events. At first blush, I understand not wanting to turn over images for the model to do what she will...but...if you do and she has them butchered in Photoshop and printed on glossy 6x9 postcards, as long as she leaves your name/credit off of them, do you really care? I don't know if I would.</p>

<p>The audience for what she does could care less about who took the pictures on her website/postcard/ad. Besides, she may come back to you to do more, and then you can charge and really specify the usage. She may send other clients/friends to you. It seems like the oversight was not asking what she intended to use them for.</p>

This is exactly what I decided to do. With a footnote: I will never do a TFCD for anyone she refers me. I will to trade my skills for cold hard cash this time! (yes, a salary or a fee is a form of trade).</p>

<p>If you are doing a TF you haven't "Hired" anyone.<br>

Say no. It's that simple. She can tell you no on what she wears, or doesn't, what poses she's comfortable doing; just as you have the right to give her a file you find acceptable.<br>

This stuff should be discussed before the shoot.</p>

<p>If I am hired by a woman to take her photos so she can use them in promoting her escort service, then so be it.<br>

Normally I would agree, but read the original post again. The OP hired the model, not the other way round.</p>

<p>Actually he did <em>not</em> hire her. TFP (time for print) or TFCD (Time for CD) is technically not hiring since no money changes hands. They entered into a mutually beneficial <em>agreement. </em>I do this all the time with models. </p>
