Jacek Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) I am going to upload some pictures made during sunset with fishing boat ( people on board ) in open sea and people / child at beach. Do I need property or model releases even if boat , people on the beach are not unrecognisable due to sunset ? What in case I have removed boat name on one of picture where still visible ?

NYCat Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 No. Just say how many people and property in the image and check "no releases". I think it is dishonest to remove a name. Presumably the owner can recognize the boat and people. Total honesty is best, in my opinion. Paulette 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people in image in AIM (Optional) enter number of people where it asks "do you have model releases" tick no. Property (boat) tick yes were it asks "is there property in image" A new line comes up tick no if you do not have releases. No need to remove name on boat. Allan NYCat beat me to it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacek Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 Dear NYCat and Allan . Many thanks for Your help. You right its dishonest to remove a name when visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Actually in the days when I first started with Alamy most of my photos were of scenes, animals, birds, flowers, buildings, motor vehicles, etc. I was too cautious about taking photos of people so not many appeared at first. First being quite a long time. These days I even ask people if I can take their picture. Most of the time they oblige and do not even ask me what I want it for but I do try to explain why. Of course with events like I have been shooting lately the people taking part expect it and even pose for you. Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
