 ID: 199345 Posts: 356 | Date: 2008-02-02 03:22 I've never heard of it. I Googled it and all I found was a Yahoo question asking
exactly the same thing as you. The poster was someone called Elsa Brittany. I
assume that was you.
btw, it might just be the way you phrased the sentence, however, USA, Australia
and London are not examples of European countries. I think you meant:
"it is sold in countries like USA, Australia and European countries such as
England, France and Germany."
I'm interested to hear what work you did for this company as it seems strange
that they have no presence on the Web. Are you sure that they are a legitimate
company ? I hope you weren't scammed in any way.

Have you seen a copy of the magazine? Who is the publisher? Who did your photo
shoot? What name, address and phone number are on your model release?
Please be careful. There are a lot of fakes out there. As I told you through
Email, I never heard of the magazine. I also am not finding it listed under U.S.
copyright.
I am trying to figure out what a magazine called Sexy Girls is doing contacting
you. Your profile here says you are 14, you say you are almost 16. You are too
young to be bikini posing in a magazine called Sexy Girls. We Westerners are not
that decadent.
I thought that the age of consent in Malaysia was 21. Who signed your model
release? Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should  |

ID: 199345 Posts: 356 | Date: 2008-02-03 05:09 Aside from the age issue, if a model gets paid to do a shoot, does it really
matter whether they know where the images are going. I suspect in this case the
photog told her it is going in a sexy girl magazine. Not a mag called "Sexy
Girls", but he was going to try and sell it to any one of the sexy girl mags.
Since it was bikini and not nude that would be the likes of FHM, Maxim, Loaded,
GQ, Stuff etc. I'm sure there are a load more.
The question is, if the tog says he wants sexy bikini images, does he have to
know who he is going to sell them to before he shoots the girl ? He's going to
do the shoot, study the images and see if they are marketable, as he has the
copyright he'll try to sell them where ever he can. It's unlikely that he sells
them to a porm mag as they are bikini, but even if he did, would it be that big
a deal ? they are still bikini shot ? (Like I said assuming there is no age
issue). What I'm trying to grasp is if the model is happy for images of her to
be published wearing a bikini, what difference does it make what the final
publication is, it is still the same image. (assuming its not altered).
This is more trying to understand the rules of copyright law and model release
forms than anything else.
Karl, I'm sure there is an article on this somewhere, I'll go look.

ID: 182744 Posts: 1435 | Date: 2008-02-03 06:09 Hi, Mike:
Your point is well taken and correct. I was trying to get a handle on her
questions rather than the general issue.
Regarding copyright law, there are variations from country to country but it is
generally accepted by the arbitrary thing called 'international law' (of which
there are no true experts, by the way) that a photographer owns the copyright
for every image taken unless specifically assigned to the entity ordering the
shoot.
Whether she was paid for the images or not, the photographer can do generally
with them what he wants. A properly worded model release can limit those
rights.
In the United States a premise was formed about a decade ago that if images are
sold by a photographer, the model should receive fair compensation for them.
This stemmed out of a lawsuit filed by an actress who had some shots done while
she was an unknown. She was paid about $100 for the shoot.
After she became famous the photographer found a market for the
shots and sold them for about $2 million. The court ruled that it was an
exploitive sale because the profit earned on the images 1) was not commiserate
with the compensation paid and 2) the value of the images were not a result of
the photographer's talent but rather the actress's fame of which the
photographer had no part. The actress received from the court 15% of the selling
price of the images. However, she had no right to stop distribution of the
images or control where they were published.
It may indeed be that Elsa shot with a photographer hoping to sell the images to
one of the PG-rated girlie magazines. She may have shot for free and the
photographer retained unlimited rights. I still am interested in knowing if she
signed a release and if so, what its terms were.
I do know that those top name magazines you listed, Mike, will no purchase
images from a photographer without proper model release forms and, in the case
of U.S. publishing, proof of her age and identify. (Usually a photocopy of a
government issued ID. I keep one with every model release I obtain since U.S.
law enforcement has gotten so finicky about photographers retaining
identification documents of models if they look younger than 25 or if there is
any nudity or sexuality involved.)
But yes...a model release can be a model's best friend. Some models are afraid
of them and refuse to sign. However, this does not stop a
photographer from using those images how he wishes. It will prevent sales to
certain entities that require releases, but that is all.
A model can negotiate with a photographer limits on where and how the images
will be used and get that in writing. If a photographer does not wish to agree
to a model's terms, the model can always simply refuse to shoot. That part is
the models choice. Things that can be written in are: The images will
not be used or displayed in print or electronic form, in whole or in part, in a
media that involves pornography. The images will not be used or altered in such
a manner that they impune the reputation of the model. The images shall be used
only in a manner consistent with the purposes stated in this release. If the
images are sold or used more than one year after the shooting date, model shall
receive royalties of X% of the sale price.
Yes, a model can also write royalties into a release, but good luck doing that
if you are an unknown or do not have a good agent representing you. Typically, a
photographer will not sign to pay royalties. Too much bookkeeping for a simple
$100 sale.
Finally, even if a photographer comes to you and says that he is shooting for
something like Maxim magazine the photographer is still not bound to
only sell to Maxim. He can sell to the entire world without a
glance back at the model.
A model release is an open document during the negotiation stage without many
rules saying what can and cannot be included in the document. Some states do
regulate some minor aspects of releases, but by and large they are a contract
negotiation.
Models should be able to read a release and understand the terms involved.
Models can walk with their own generic release forms or request one from any
photographer they work with. Terms are subject to negotiations but these
negotiations should be agreed to by both parties before the shoot starts. Once
the images are in the camera, any rights not negotiated belong to the
photographer.
Typically, I will go over a contract agreement with a model before booking a
shoot. This agreement is not a release but rather a paper
stating the terms and conditions of the shoot and what will be in the release
for the shoot. The release gets signed after the shoot. The contract is in place
beforehand to insure that both parties know exactly what the shoot involves and
protects both parties from anything different happening during or after the
shoot. The model is protected in that the release cannot variate from the
contract and the photographer is protected in case the shoot is completed and
for some reason the model decides not to sign the release.
Lastly, if the model is a minor in most countries, the model cannot sign the
release alone. It must be counter signed by a legal guardian or it is invalid. A
non-emancipated minor cannot sign away his or her rights. Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should |
