Ok so first thank you to all who have contributed to this string. After reading all of your stuff and speaking to a few photographers I have encountered in the last month here is what I have come up with, and what I plan on doing...
My website has lots of pictures of people I have taken for free or gotten paid for over the last 10 years. I have actually, just by chance, talked to a few of them and they are thrilled to be on my site. As I circulate my site to the meeting planners I work for I will just be aware that I am most likely legally totally in the clear. However, if anybody says I don't want my picture on your site I will simply apologize and remove that picture from the site. Now the meeting planner says, You took that picture while working for us and we dont want our attendees face on your site, I will say since it doesnt mention your company name anywhere on the picture I think I am legally able to use it and I don't think they would mind. But if you feel the need to contact them feel free and if they want me to take their picture down I would be happy to do that.
Now I guess I have one more question. One of the pictures actually is of backs of heads but clearly says Mitsubishi in it. I would think Mitsubishi would be thrilled but the meeting planner that hired me could just be persnickety. I will say that I still think I am legally ok and will just ask if we could contact the client directly and allow me to ask them permission. Honestly I just have one meeting planner that for some reason just likes to be difficult and they are who I am worried about. Im sure you all know people like that! (Sorry for the long post )
How does that sound??? Anybody?
