Yes. You should have a model release form, otherwise you could run into trouble. From BP's Terms and Conditions: "Uploader acknowledges that they have sufficient written permission of any recognizable models or other persons appearing in the photograph to be able to grant to BetterPhoto.com the right to publish their photographic submission online, and hereby grant to BetterPhoto.com such right." If you sell pictures of people, you also have to get the release form.

P.S. You won't necessarily get into trouble, by the way. Only if somebody sees themself online or somewhere in one of your pictures when they don't want you to, will you possibly get into trouble. Even then, the chances are not so high.

There are probably online web albums you can get for free like shutterfly or kodak. I really doubt people who happen to see their pictures in a web album with pictures you are not selling will try to take any legal action or anything.

Generally speaking, people in public places are fair game as long as there is not a resonable expectation of privacy, such as a dressing room, bathroom, etc. Such photos generally can not be used commercially without the risk of a lawsuit by the subject. There is a wonderful one page document at www.krages.com under Photography/Art that outlines photographer's rights.

"can you get in trouble for posting there pictures on a web site with out having the promission." In real life that only REALLY happens in the USA... The rest of the world have a more relaxed gluteus maximus.

i just read an interview with a photographer/lawyer about this.. there was a recent case where someone was selling prints off a site of street photography and was sued by someone who was in a photo there.... it was thrown out of court! And is a really great decsion as far as we photographers are concerned.. she (the Lawyer) goes on to say you DONT need a release for every person you shoot..esp in street photography.... unless its going to be used in Advertising. At least that is how I remember reading it. It was in this months Outdoor Photographer I believe.. ill check and post back here.

You might be thinking of a New York street photographer named diCorcia, which in February 2006 the New York Supreme Court ruled in his favor over the use of a photograph of an Orthodox Jew. Basically he took the photograph of Emo Nussenzweig while he was walking down a New York street and sold 10 or so copies anywhere from $20,000 to $30,000 each. He was later sued by Nuessenwieg claiming is privacy and religious rights were violated when the photo was taken and published. Bottom line, the NY Supreme Court ruled the street photo Nuessenwieg was art not commerce. Ray

do I need a model release from a dogs owner if he wasn't on a leash. Could I just say I thought it was a stray dog?

You can't be serious??

well, it was an area at the park where it is posted that dogs must be on a leash. So I thought maybe it was fair game since they broke the law.

I see. Well before I respond, it would help to know what you will be using the images for? Ray

I want to make a BOW-WOW calender to sell to my neighbors and whoever else will buy them. I get alot of pictures from down at the park, because those are the prettiest dogs. The people near the end of the day, when hardley anyone is around let them run and that is how I've gotten my shots. My dad gave me the tip of keeping doggie treats in my pockets so the dogs smell them and hang around me so I get lots of close-up pictures. So far I have 8 winners, but as you know I need four more by the end of summer so I can finish in time before people buy next years calender. Thanks for response
