My friend and I picked up photography as a hobby and wanted to learn taking people photos in a studio setting as well as be able to show our work in a portfolio if needed. We posted up an ad on craigslist that we will offer free photoshoot session, no money is involved by either party and in the end we mail out post processed photos to the models. We received 3 serious inquires and planned out a saturday session. Early that morning, lights, stands, backdrops, etc. was purchased and setup. All set and done, the photoshoot was successful and everyone had a great time. Two days pass by, 1 of the models sent us a message stating that her family didnt like what she did and wants us to delete ALL photos of her. My friend and I were shocked since non of the photos were provocative nor sexual, other then in some photos she wore some high shorts that revealed her tattoo on the thighs. Some of the photos were a group shot of all 3 of them together, photos were already mailed out to the other 2 models. We tried negotiating that we will only use your photos in our portfolio. She wants us to delete all the photo including the group photos with other models and in addition, she want us to sign a form stating we will not use her pics and wll delete everything we have infront of a notoriety. We have a release form she signed.
Our release form states:
I grant to J**** H*** and B* C*** the right to take photographs of me
and my property in connection with the above-identified subject. I authorize
J**** H*** and B* C***, its assigns and transferees to copyright, use and
publish the same in print and/or electronically.
I agree that J**** H*** and B* C*** may use such photographs of me
with or without my name and for any lawful purpose, including for example
such purposes as publicity, illustration, advertising, and Web content.
I understand I may only use the photos and files for personal use only. I
may not sell the rights to the photo unless given so fromJ**** H*** and B* C***.
Our understanding is that we have the rights to the photos. We also tried working with her so that we can keep the photos and use in our portfolio. I dont want to delete them because we worked really hard and put alot of efforts into this session. Please advise.
