She signed the model release that stated she has no rights to anything being shot and was of course paid.
I emailed her back and told her since she was being demanding and trying to tell me what I can and can't do with the content that she wouldn't get anything. She writes back telling me she's entitled to what we shot and if I didn't send her copies of everything she would sue me. Stupid new models, it was her first shoot by the way.
Obviously she didn't read the paperwork that she signed. I was trying to be nice by offering her some images from the shoot but she tries to pull this crap on me... 
Anyone else ever had that happen to them? |
You are pretty unprofessional. Give her what she wants and make her happy so she will work together with you again.
It's not a big effort to burn a CD with her images and your copyright notice on it. I would also give her prints of the best 10 or 20 shots. That's little effort and cost on your side.
Most professional shooters will supply their models with a CD and some prints.
