A commercial image can be used for purposes like marketing, advertising and sponsorship as well as digitally. Commercial images are generally in greater demand because of the more uses they have. A commercial image can be edited, cropped and can also be used for editorial purposes. However, in order to sell an image as commercial you normally require an agreement. This agreement is known as a model release, or property release and functions as a written agreement between photographers, models and property owners which assures that the image can be sold for commercial purposes. The exception is if the people depicted in the photographs are not identifiable; then the image can be sold with a commercial license without needing a model release.

Hvordan behandle åndsverks- og modellkontrakter

1. Spør om tillatelse

Når du knipser et portrett eller en venns leilighet, må du be dem om å signere en avtale som lar deg selge bildene kommersielt!

2. Signer en avtale

Ved å signere en avtale med modellen/eier av eiendommen, sikrer du at du ikke vil få noen juridiske konsekvenser. Mostphotos aksepterer ulike typer modell-/åndsverkskontrakter, men du kan også bruke vår egen versjon.

3. Publiser et bilde

Når du har fått til en avtale kan du selge bildet med en kommersiell lisens! Sørg for å lagre avtalen, slik at du kan gi den til kjøperen på forespørsel.
