Title: model release form - stupidest release request?
Post by: fintastique on June 23, 2006, 00:40
Well most sites rejected my first attempt to photograph a "model" for isolation reasons but Big Stock had to be different they want a release form even though the photo is centred around the lower half of the face - no other agency requested one.

Which got me thinking of inappropriate requests for model release forms I heard somewhere for requests of signed forms when the image was in fact of a

a mannequin

a mermaid

Anyone care to share their experiences of bureaucracy gone mad

well i think it is a problem of clicking 'next image' too quickly.. having to review an image every 5 seconds or whatever they do.

I have had images required for an image of a man with full face mask on (the image was a close up of the face .. in a mask)

the mask was human like spray painted grey... I can understand why a 5 second review would think it was an actual face, however i did explain what the image was of in the comments.
