Jill Morgan Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have some stuffed plush horses I thought I would shoot and I am not clear on release. I have paid for these myself, so if there is no product logo, would I need a release from the manufacturer? Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 If the manufacturer would recognise them as their product, the answer is of course yes. Doesn't stop you selling a photo of them, just tick the no release box. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yeah, better safe than sorry I guess. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giphotostock Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 If the manufacturer would recognise them as their product, the answer is of course yes. Tony Commerical libraries seem to have different guideslines for objects: generic mass-produced objects not protected by trademark or copyright do not require a release. "Recognizability" by the manufacturer is generally not a consideration. Think about it: all man-made objects are made by somebody, so that somebody could recognize "their" object. How many generic still lifes with property releases you'd see on a G or C sites in their commercial collections? GI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
