I have a question for PDMLers who might have experience with that.
(I had never thought of these questions before...)
Let's consider a photo session (in studio or on location), and the
photographed subjects (or their parents) are ordering photographs
(specific example: individual and group photos of kids at school, sport
teams/dance studios...).
Question: Can the photographer use these photographs elsewhere without an
explicit model release(s)?
I would consider three sub-questions related to the purpose
1) for some explicit profit (e.g. sell to a 3rd party, including stock,
magazine, etc.)
1a) can the studio/venue where it happend (dance studio) buy the photo?
2) for advertizing purposes (on the photographer's website, on other
websites, in the printed ads)
3) without any profit or explicit advertisement purposes (e.g. on the
community website, free giveaway to some news media).
I know that under this conditions (unless specified otherwise in the
contract), the photographer keeps the copyright (even though it is a work
for hire). But what about the rights of the people imaged (in the context
lined out in the cases above)?
Thank you,
Igor
