Can i shoot my own content?
 

Can i post pics of people on a site without a release form if they arent nude?


like say i walk into my local resteraunt and see a hottie bartender, i snap a pic of her pouring a drink and slap on my site ...

Do i need a release?

Any guesses?

Depends where you shoot the picture. In some public places its allowed. In a restaurant, probably not. In general, protect yourself, get permission from the person being photographed in writing.

Are you a photographer?

no im not

i just want to take pics wherever i go and put some on a site.

say i go to six flags and see a hot milf walking with her kid. She bends down to pick something up and *CLICK* i get a shot.


how the hell do i get her to sign a release? lol

Well you don't need a release for her, but you need her permission to have the kid in the picture. It's illegal to post pictures of a minor without parental consent. I got in trouble for that once back in high school. Damn PTA will do anything to fuck you :321GFY

Ok i wouldnt have included the kid anyhow ...


So ill walk away from this asuming its ok to snap public non-nude pics and build a site with them (providing theres no minors involved) unless someone wants to correct me? lol


Thanks guys.

From what I have been told, posting a pic of someone on your adult site without permission aka model release. Whether they are dressed or not you are asking to be sued.

I agree with tony404. Take a photo, put it on an adult site and you are just asking for a lawsuit.

If you are charging people to see the photo, that makes it a commercial practice. There are a lot of variables, including whether a person might reasonable assume that his or her photo would be taken, say in the stands at a football game.

In a bar, I don't think so. In fact, that is private property and you should actually have permission of the owner of the building and proprietor of the bar before snapping a photo...although that's probably not as big a deal.

I've written about this before on GFY, but it bears repeating.

If you take a photo of someone, in most cases you will own the copyright of the photograph. But, they retain rights to their image in most cases. I mean, if they are not a "public person" such as an actor or politician, they pretty m uch have a right to privacy in the situation you are describing.

Do yourself a favor, either get a release of don't use the photo.

Brutal

If you look on tickets like at a sports event or rock concert. You waive your rights with use of the ticket, it says it on the ticket.

If you are talking about candid upskirt shots
Then forget it.
There are a few people who tried that in San Diego. and fell foul of the law.

Looking at your understanding, I would say the overall answer to your question is "No." You can't shoot your own content. You don't know enough to not get your ass in trouble. Play it safe.

..green... now you really make me wanna do some kind of stupid video. LOL

I'd have to agree w/ Tony on this one....you are asking for trouble
