From: Paul Stenquist
Technically, you're right, John. But if her employer insists on a
model release, then she needs a model release. Some publishers
apparently go beyond what is necessary, perhaps on the advice of
lawyers. I think that's unfortunate, because it establishes a bad
precedent, but it is undoubtedly the case.
Right. I understand that.
If you work for someone, you have to meet their job requirements. And if
you want to sell your work, buyers may have requirements you must meet
as well.
But, that's not the *LAW* telling you what you can or cannot do.
If you don't like your employer's conditions of employment you're free
to take your labor elsewhere. Find someone whose work rules are more to
your liking.
And I agree it creates bad precedents when large, powerful organizations
compromise away photographer's rights in the interest of expediency.
