Title: Shooting stock in Airshows
Post by: StockStudio on February 14, 2023, 12:02
I have quite a few videos I shot in military airshows during 2017-2020.
Almost no rejections along the way.
In the past 2 years I had many of my clips rejected in both Shutterstock and Adobe due to intellectual property issues,
and sometimes I had agencies require property release from the airshow itself.
Does anyone here has some experience with this subject?
Is obtaining a release from a large airshow (like the Paris one for example) even an option?

You could try selling it as editorial, without a release form. I would consider an airshow to be good editorial content.

But even then, you'll need approval from the organizer?
I always thought that everything that's subject to entry fees/entry tickets is not suitable for editorial content without approval of the organizer.

Think music festivals, museums, airlines, and also airshows.

Yet I see a lot of editorial content from activities that require entry fees or tickets to get in.
So either I'm wrong, or the contributors take the risk (and are getting away with it)

depends of the condition of entry to be honest, but yes in the end contributors are responsible for ensuring they had rights to take picture for commercial usage, and by commercial it is understood to me getting any revenue from it so making it editorial changes nothing.   Airshow you may however be able to get shots without being within ground of events not sure where the courts would draw the line
