General Stock Discussion / Gay marriage poster family warns over stock image sites
« on: May 26, 2015, 12:40 »
Has anyone else seen this?
The caption/title is so dramatic, but when you read the article the couple says they have 'no regrets'. When I read the title I thought the couple had been lied to by the photographer (which doesn't seem to be the case).

When I shoot models that's the kind of thing that I come very clear about before the release is signed - it's one of my greatest fears that someone will come back to me saying that they weren't aware of the potential use of their images. I once photographed an Iranian body builder - he needed the images for a competition, and agreed to sign a MR in exchange. I explained very clearly about stock etc, but after the shoot he tells me that he's ok with everything, as long as his images didn't get published in gay material. I said that that was a possibility, but not in a defamatory way, and that I had no control over it. He then told me that he could lose his head in case this happened and someone in his home country found out. I then just told him to keep the images - I never used them for anything.
Has anyone else had any similar stories? How did you deal with it?
