[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I shot a photo of a friend a week ago that he would like to have used for his book jacket. It was a snap at the right place and the right time and took a photo that really cannot be repeated because virtually no one has access any more. Anyway... I sent him a JPEG of the image which he liked and showed to his publisher who immediately sent a release form (as a jpeg for some reason) that seems unnaturally broad and vague. So typically what does a release for publication look like? I suppose I should find a lawyer but I'm GIVING him the rights to use the photo but don't want to loose the rights to the photo myself. (In case he's the next Tom Clancy or something...I don't know.) Thanks for any thoughts Adam Bridge
