ok so i asked a friend to come and shoot some pictures in this swim suite model contest, fun fun, but again i run into crazy fanatical people
here is the take, i am doing this for free, i will make a short presentation just for practice, in the event i have something i told the agencies i will share with everyone on face book.

So we went down and even had access near the dressing room, i got loads of cracks, cleavage, camel toe shots, we recorded videos and took around 3700 photos, the girls where more then happy to bend over, LITERALLY, especially for my friend who helped shoot this because he is in a band, so some of the girls did more then show off a duck face like on face book, some even posed as if they where choking on something, and loving it.

both of us went home and cleaned out at least a 1000 blury canon 5d mkiii photos, we have more then enough great and super takes, we also got over 25 emails from some of the models, as well as a threatening phone calls from one of the girls agents.

He says he wants every photo of this brunette, i explained that the people holding the event allowed us in, its just a student film thing and nothing is commercial, he insisted or he will sue us lol, i laughed so hard i had to tell him to sue the girl instead who posed for free, i did not get any paper work done either, as i said this was not intended to be used commercially and i am trusted not to post any of these embarrassing photos of 18-21 year old models doing all kinds of kinky things for the cameras including mooning us down to piercings on facebook, the agent went on a rage and started to tell me he will kck my arse, he said he will have some one deal with me and all this, so i got on the phone with the police and gave all this guys details including a mp3 of the phone conversation, the police called me back and explained it was one of the girls father, then they said the other person who was really planning on doing something to my friend was one of the girls boyfriends, she had two as well., its valentines day and they are 18-19 year olds so hey, all is fine now, the police say they have interviewed and calmed all the boys down, dont you love these girls already?

but here is my big question, again i shared a shoot, i love shooting with other people to get several perspectives, and again this other guy tells me unless we are hired to shoot exactly what the client wants we are doing ourselves a favor and experimenting on our own expense, he said back in the days everyone used film NO ONE complained if a photographer had a spare of a dozen rolls of film and a dark room to stay up all night, in fact they hoped we got something magical, i was thinking with this incident he meant porno unless he is a unlucky guy and likes the dark room, anyway as we spoke we decided to share our photos with each other, i gave him my set of photos and he gave me his, then he said something stupid and i told him i will ask about it here, he said he can post his photos on facebook, only share them with friends he can track don if they did something i thought was risky, with out any ones permission, because he now owns them all, we both do, dos this sound right?
 
Sounds like you need to be smarter about the situations you put yourself in.
 
Seems like you need to retain a lawyer for all your shenannigans.
 
Sorry, could you paraphrase that? (fascinating as anecdotes about boobs, cracks and camel toes are)
 
This is some of the worst writing i've ever seen. But if you were invited in to shoot, and aren't using the images commercially you should be fine. You'd need a model release if you were to sell the pictures, which you said you don't have.
 
haha, thanks for the post, glad your open minded enough to deal with different people
 
EDIT: Sell your camera.

Screw hiring a lawyer......



You need to go to lawschool yourself!
 
And that is more than far enough.

Lets try and be mature about this people and not lower ourselves down into slinging insults around.
