I’m a photographer in training, and I’ve decided that I want other people to model for me other than myself, and my family is unwilling. My friends are willing, but our schedules are just too conflicting.
I have a request out for people in my area to be my model.
What will I have to do to protect my rights as an artist? They will have to model for me for free, and I am not interested in selling any of the photographs since I’m still working up to being “Good” enough to sell. I will be posting the images on DeviantArt. DA already provides a disclosure agreement for work submitted, but is there anything else I’ll have to do to cover my ***?
Will I have to write up some sort of a contract? I’ve never photographed anyone else besides myself so I’m a bit in the dark when it comes to protecting their rights as well as my own.
Thank you!
I will be completely honest and upfront with the model as to where I shall be posting the art and how it will be used. If they do not agree to me posting it on DeviantArt, it won’t be, if that makes any difference.
