Hi all......so I am having an issue with uploading images and attaching model release forms to 123RF and BigstockPhoto via ftp.
Any clue?.....I've looked everywhere for an exact method and it's terribly confusing.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks for the response....

Bit of an opinionated topic it seems

Think I will just contact the agencies and see what they have to say about it.

Newbie Discussion / filling in address' for release forms of homeless people?

« on: April 12, 2014, 03:09 »

So I have generated a lot of images of homeless people. I have release forms signed by them, however they have no physical address and I know the agencies will reject the release forms unless they have all the given information required.

I need a way around this problem. Only ideas I have is to put in nearby homeless shelters or just bluntly lie and make up an address.

Any thoughts?

hahaha okay cool,

I guess the trick around that is to hope the model allows the dates on the release form to not be filled in for shoots done monthly or annually.

As long as I can actually use one standard release form for all agencies I'm quite happy.

Thanks again

Thanks all for the responses

I see this is another topic why microstockers get annoyed with iStock's user interface

Anyone use or know where to get a Universal Model Release Form for all agencies?

I find it a bit frustrating having to get a model to sign a release form for every agency I submit photo's to. I've tried using one I found, which I altered to suite all agencies needs, however they decline asking for a signed copy of their own releases.

I know big shot companies like Yuri Arcurs have their own universal release forms, but wondering if the agencies only except those because they're high end players.

Any idea's around this extra unnecessary paperwork?

General Stock Discussion / repetitive W8-BEN Tax Form submitting

Sup,

So......this W8-BEN tax form. I been looking everywhere and can't get a clear answer. I get what it is and it's purpose, not going to complain about that, because that isn't going to make it go away.

I want to know, does this form have to be submitted repeatedly for each micro-stock agency other than shutterstock and istock, or does one only need to submit the form to the IRS once?
