Title: "Sensitive Usages" of model-released images
Post by: Brasilnut on May 20, 2018, 04:49

Has anybody here ever had any awkward instances of situations when your model-released commercial images were used in a potentially "sensitive way"?

I just published a blog post highlighting two of my images:

Best regards,

If a file is designated as 'editorial only', that doesn't necessarily prevent it from being used 'sensitively', e.g. to illustrate an editorial on bedwetting/whatever. (E.g. via iS/Getty, where you don't even need to put 'posed by model' on editorial, from what you quoted). People would need to check all the terms and conditions of each agency they submit to. Also bear in mind that buyers don't always read the rules, and people could have different ideas of what constitutes 'defamatory' or 'sensitive' use.

I had a photo from my first shoot ever that someone used with words along side of it saying things like 'skank' and 'slut'.
