Photography Question 

She-She Killough
 

Need a release of street photog in another country


I have recently spent over a month in Turkey and shot many images. A company there (small) wants to use some of the images for a faces calendar. It will only go to their supporters free of charge. Another organization wants to use my images for power points..brouchures and basic small business stuff. For one I don't have model releases of the people I photographed but I did give them images. Most of them cannot read english and many of them cannot read at all. So I guess I have two questions. Are my images no good to a stock company because of no releases? And two...If they were good, by having them out already by other small companies and organizations would that make them unuseable to a stock agency if I were to get in? I know everyone is busy. But I sure could use an answer before I fly to Indiana Saturday. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  Stock company won't use them without releases.
If one does, it's probably one of the kind that pays $5 per image used.

  So if I could get a release for those images...and it is possible for some.
And they were already being used by other people is that a problem? Also is it really dangerous to let some one use them for sale or even no charge?

Thanks for being so FAST! I appreciate all and everyones input.
