- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Wheremmy kids go to school, part of the paperwork they make all the parents sign is permission to photograph your child (for whatever purposes, like dchool, advertising, etc, etc.. ) There is also "picture day" when a local private photographer takes all the kids photos. We dont get any option to opt out of that or are made to sign anything for thst. Its not only for year book but for the photographer to make money selling his own package deals, to the parents. I had always assumed that the form we sign at beginning of the year giving permission to let our kids get their pictures taken, also covered the photographer coming on "picture day" . I know what I'm saying probably doesnt have to do with the OP question, but I wanted to share that info on what I know as the parent who signed my kids up for school yet another year (I have two in the same school) that my opinion, based on that would make me feel that model releases are not needed for doing any kind of pictures on school property, because the parents would have already signed something for the school,when they enrolled their kids. (Or opted out if given the chance) . I wasn't paying attention to the post to see what state/country this is. And I dont know the laws, but I hope that helps a little. If not,then just ignore my post lol . I tried lol
