Hvordan behandle åndsverks- og modellkontrakter
1. Spør om tillatelse
In order to be able to sell an image commercially you normally need an agreement from the people depicted in the image and possibly also from the property owner. This is why it is important that you arrange a written model release after a photo shoot!
2. Signer en avtale
If you get the person’s permission it is important to write a contract as protection in case of legal consequences. A written model release is also needed even if you photograph friends and family. Note that models under the age of 18 require permission from their parents.
3. Publiser et bilde
When you have arranged your contract, you can sell the images with a commercial licence! Remember to always have your releases available, because you will need to present them if you are asked. You can use Mostphotos’ release if you like, but other types of releases are also acceptable.
