Cropredy Photos

[Tasha]

I have just found this info:
You can't make a profit from a picture of an individual "man off the street"
without the written permission of the sujbect in the form of a signed model release.Iif you don't have this  you would be breaking the law. If pictures are used in a way the subject is unhappy with the subject can sue.

Someone has just looked over my shoulder and said that someone can't publish a photo of someone without their permission- infringement of human rights???Does anyone know if this this correct and what if BD Olly etc don't like their image being seen around the world- is there anything they could do.

You can't make a profit from a picture of an individual "man off the street" without the written permission of the sujbect in the form of a signed model release.Iif you don't have this  you would be breaking the law.

Don't think it's breaking any law, but yes, the individual photographed does have rights for which compensation can be requested (in a civil court, if necessary) if the photographer makes money from a photo with them as the subject without written permission.

If it just appears on a website without your permission, you can insist that it be taken down if you so wish. There would be no compensation (assuming it's just a shot in a crowd like these are, and nothing more incriminating)

That is not correct. It is good practice for photographers to get signed permission from a subject for use when they take the shot. They should also make it clear what the photos is likely to be used for. I have a standard form I use all the time. But it is not a legal requirement. There has been a recent case in the West Country where a photo of a member of the public was used initially for a tourist brochure and then on train station posters. She complained (and was interviewed on Radio 4). The company removed the posters out of good will (and presumably bad publicity) but they were not legally obliged to do so.
If you couldn't sell photos without the permission of everybody in them you'd never get any crowd shots!

A lot of concert / festival tickets do have a term in the T&C's that advise of you being filmed / pgotographed & advisde that purchase of said ticket means you deem to give your consent.

There is no legal redress if you are snapped in public. Some parts of the country frown upon pictures of children being taken - but again, if they're not in/on private premises, there's no legal problem.

I tend not to do lots of pictures of kids because a) misunderstandings do arise and b) I find adults more characterfull.

Several professional photographic mags are debating this right now because the Mayor of London has proposed making the taking of pictures on the streets of LOndon illegal. Total bosh and unworkable. Did you know that it's illegal to use a tripod in the bounds of the City of London already? You can use a monopod, however.

Apologies for this being slightly off-topic, but I wasn't sure where to put this request.  (If any of the moderators want to move it to a more suitable area, please feel free)

This is probably only aimed at those of you who were/are members of the FC list, for reasons that will become apparent.

If anyone has photos of Steve Burgess (aka Budgie), please would you email them to me.  Those of you who know Budgie, should know why, but if not, I'll explain privately. If you're not sure if you know him, a photo of him can be found at: http://www.mcvax.org/jhma/fairport/cropredy2004/crop2004-Pages/Image166.html which was taken at Cropredy 2004.

Sorry for the interruption.

Of course, if anyone would like to buy approximately 274 photos selected from previous years Cropredys for a mere £15 which includes a donation to the Teenage Cancer Trust,  please visit my website and order from there, or there are some shops listed  which still have a few copies.

I'm delighted to be able to say that my book 'Festival Folk' sold very well at Cropredy, but there are still copies left from the limited print run of 1500. I have absolutely no intention of re-printing, so these will be (hopefully!) treasured collectors items one day !! Please buy now while you still can !!!

Cheers
Joss (please Mr Moderator, excuse my shameless plugging!)

I've said it before, I'll say it again    This publication is A) fantastic in its own right and B) snags virgins like you wouldn't believe and C) limited to only 1500    . (No, I don't know Joss  )

On cold winters nights, with no festivals in sight, a leaf through Festival Folk will bring a glow to your soul and a smile to your lips 

Heck, if you buy it and regret it, send it to me and *I'll* refund your money 

E. (Please Mr Moderator, excuse my shameless honesty!)

"Festival Folk" is absolutely BRILL. Well done Joss. And all for charity too - bought mine on Sat.

Could something charitably similar be done with older photos from Cropredy? You must all have BILLIONS. For instance I took quite a few slides at "Farewell Farewell Fairport" in 1979, and several in subsequent years - notably a murky but at the same time revealing  shot of Professor Bruce Lacey and partner in 1982 (if you were there you'll remember, Ohmigawd). And one of Linda Thompson - rare or what?   

And others must have lots of shots of audience and bands - what for instance about Don "the Indian" at the bar? Roy Wood's big band with the ladies in hot pants (ooer)? Muzsikas? Filarfolket? Heather Wood? Peggy's various beards? Simon without one?

I know the objection to using old slides was that one's irreplaceable shots would disappear or be crunched but one can now either scan 'em oneself or get a competent processor to do it, then they could go onto CD-ROM.

Maybe I should have IM'ed Joss? Has anybody any experience in book publishing?

Cheers - Ed
