Hello!
So normally when I have shoots I choose my favorite pictures, post them on my Facebook page, model is happy and we're good to go. But getting into clients, and more professional models, how do we decide who gets what pictures? I know the first comment is going to be to write a contract. Yes, I agree, but what to put on that contract?
Does the photographer choose all the photos and the model have to live with it? Something else?
I'm asking because out of my latest shoot, I posted a few photos, gave the model a CD with them, and then she later asks me where the rest of them are... I chose the best photos, but she wanted to see what I would consider the less-than-acceptable ones as well. What do you think of this? What if she wants those? She's going to want to put them on Facebook, but if it's a shot I'm not particularly proud of, I don't want that promoting me, but I also don't want to be excluded from credits I should be getting.
Again, it's not a huge deal (yet), but as this is a situation that has presented itself to me, I'd like to hear TPF's thoughts on this.
Thanks!
