Take 5 minutes of your time to fill it in and save yourself a life trouble.
I am just surprised at times how lazy American people can be..

Thank you guys,
That helps alot.

“How should I use this? Pick and choose the section that applies to you or just use the entire document and check where it applies. Copy and paste into your own shoot agreement as needed.”

It doesn’t say anywhere that you HAVE to use this entire checklist, but for those of us who are doing this as a career, and are worried about dishonest or unethical photographers keeping candid shots with nudity taken ‘by mistake’ in between shots, it definitely serves as a great deterent. Even if just for TF. Who wants naked pictures of themselves they didn’t authorize out there on the web? Personally I think that if a photog brought this in for me to sign, I’d know s/he wouldn’t end up screwing me over!

I don’t know how many do this, but as a model, I’ve started to have the photographer sign MY release, especially for TF. That way I have more control over what images of me are available.

While this is a good list, I don’t know if it is practical. I have made note to check these things off in my head, but a checklist and all those terms and conditions for a TF* shoot? Not unless there is money involved like travel expenses or a studio rental…

I think as a model I would even be more confused after this check list!!!!

Any photographer I have ever shot with, we just communicate before the shoot. I would never dream of giving a photographer this check list before a shoot….sorry. Although I do ask a lot of questions like what is expected of me, but only because I want to make the shoot go as smoothly as they do. I also want the pics to be the best they can be, but come on!!

I agree with #7.
If I had some girl with no portfolio other than her Myspace on-camera-flash angle shots shove this in my face, I’d send her back the way she came.

Way to make legit photographers worry about getting the runaround from some wannabe model who is just lucky to be getting TF in the first place.

It’s insulting that we have to work for our craft and then possibly have a sixteen-year-old with minimal life skills and no vocational skills tell us we’re not professional if we won’t sign a ridiculous checklist. Way to enable.

What a complete and understandable list. No jargon, this can be understood by anyone. Thanks very much for posting this.
I’ll shorten it off course, not needing all of it most of the time, but for that one occasion….

I’ve coordinated Batallion-sized field actions and didn’t have chedcklists as long as that. if it ever gets that complicated to shoot a wannabe model, it’s time to call it a day.

This is the best information that any model can use especially a newbie like me, this is like a piece of gold. If anybody dosen’t read this they are crazy because you can never stop learning or refreshing your memory.

I am going for my very first LIST shoot and this is perfect. Now I am going to look this person up and do what this text books tells me to do.

thank you very very much
