Can I use your pictures on my MySpace, LJ, Facebook, etc?
As long as the the picture is not being used for commercial purposes or promotion, go right ahead. All I ask is that you do not hotlink to my site, please upload the image to a photo sharing site. Also, you must either credit me or leave the watermark intact. And last, the pictures may not be used in a deragatory manner. If you are asked to remove the picture by either me or the subject, please respect the request and remove it.
Do you sell the pictures you take?
The only pictures I sell are the pictures that do not have human subjects, that I have a model release for, or that I sell to the subject. If there are any prints or pictures you would like to purchase the rights to use, please contact me.
Where are the pictures you took of....?
I do not post all of my personal photography for the public to see. Most of the people I know also know where to look for those pictures. If you would like to get the link, please contact me.
You took a picture of me and I will like to be able to sell that picture for commercial purposes, can I do it?
Not without permission from me. According to copyright law in the US, the ownership and copyright on photographs resides with the photographer. Therefore, whether you are the subject or not, without permission you cannot commerically use or sell the photography. However, I cannot sell the photography without a model release or the subjects permission.
Do you do headshots, portraits, weddings, events, etc?
Yes, I can do pictures of almost anything.
How much do you charge?
My costs depend on the job. If it is a situation where I am just doing headshots for a struggling actor, the cost will be minimal. If it is a wedding that will take up most of my Saturday, the cost will be higher. If you have a job that you would like done, contact me and we discuss what the rate will be.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at michael@parenfaire.net.
