Model Release Form

If a company hires a private photograher to come in and take some photos of it's staff which are to be used in some kind of advertising brochures. Who is responsible for the model release form. In my experience when a photogrepher has come into our company nothing has been mentioned about a Model release form.

Why do you need a release form? You aren't going to use the pictures for your own use, are you?

I'ts not me i'm talking about it's the photographer and the company.

Why does he need a release form? He isn't going to use the picture for his own use, is he?

I would have thought your company would have sorted out any rights issues, could he be hoping to sell them to a library?

Just make sure that they pay you and give them a CD with the images. You do NOT need anything after that. They paid you for a product so it belongs to them and you can go on with your life..

I've been told that if my company wish to do this sort of thing then they can without question because it's there company and they can do what they want. I would of thought that it would be up to the photographer to explain what is right (I would).
