And Alistair...i have the download info for the Family of Man project and will get round to putting some in! On the subject of getting model releases in Afghanistan (and foreign lands in general) I never do and never will. My work is not to be used to advertise a product... The images are what they are...images of humanity. Even if I wanted to get the subject to sign the dotted line they (Afghan) almost certainly would not be able to read or write and guess they would have a problem understanding the concept of the rights they were signing anyway. Having said that if a company want to pay me £££/$$$'sss to do a shoot for them then I won't be saying no. The Afghan project is personal work and if a book does result a % of the cover price will be going to a UK charity called Warchild.
