Hi Mark, I have asked our photographers at the museum. One of them is on leave but the other one has responded with the below:
"Yes. We do some of these things. It is quite a problem especially with children in non-school events. It¹s something we need to look at to try and make it easier for us. We do gather written releases while taking pictures in the form of parental permissions when photographing children. Also Learning get parental permissions in advance of school sessions. Otherwise there are usually signs up around the building when we are present at an event and sometimes a session leader will make an announcement that we are shooting before a session or event. As far as I know we don¹t follow up about using photos." Hope that helps.

Do your photographers gather written releases onsite while taking pictures? Do your photographers shoot short videos of people giving their permission to use their photos? Do you have some sort of blanket signage that informs people that their photos may appear in marketing materials? Do you follow up with individuals whose pictures you may use for your external MARCOM activities to let them know they may appear in print, online etc? Maybe you do something else? Please let me know. Looking for some feedback on what others are doing that I can bring back to my museum for discussion. Thanks everyone. Have an awesome day!!!
