This made me think about an assignment I made this week. A client asked
me to make pictures of several models. The pictures will be used for
posters. Should I make a model release form for the models? If not, what
kind of contract should I make between me and my client? Who owns the
photos?
I shoot RAW and always give jpg copies to the client, printable at 5x7
inches at 300 ppi. I keep the RAW files. When the client asks for design
and printing of posters, these files come in handy. Is this practice
healthy for both client and photographer?

Hi all,
I recently did some head shots for a friend and now she needs a
letter to get the local W--mart to print the images. Can someone
point me to a sample of what it should say? Thanks,
Eric
