Would this be PWS.Com Paul G that made that post?: I think a release form would be in order to gain profit from someones picture. But, what do I know, nada,!

If you click on the link, "PGOWDER" is asking the question on how he should go about (or he is thinking about, rather) making posters and or a book with the pictures he takes at powwows; of the dance arena and dancers... we straight?*LOL*....

So I think alot of peeps might wanna cut or do somethin...but I wouldn't know...I HAVE seen alot of books w/ peeps in em and they didn't even ask.."like that red powwow book at crow fair)..but hmm I AM TOTALLY SAYING That making posters or books w/ pics of powwow peeps might be "IFFY!"

I like that word ^^^IFFY^^^ :).....
yea' it's just that I know how it feels to all of a sudden run into a picture of yourself being sold, nobody asked u a darn thing an' somebody's out there getting a few extra bucks off you... I'unno, something about that just seems "OFF-ee" to me....

Okay so the idea is "iffy"...and the outcome is "offey"..cool!!!
Wow we should write a thesaurus!

I'd suggest consulting a media-law attorney for a detailed opinion on this before embarking on a project of this magnitude.

That said, it has always been my understanding that photos taken of a group in a public setting are fair game to be published in a book, newspaper, magazine, etc. without having to garner the subject's permission. Individual photos usually require some sort of permission (verbal or written).

I've seen it done a couple of ways. When I was at Oglala Nation, Iowa City and Chicago someone made and annoucement like .......so and so is here from blah blah and will be taking photos all weekend for blah blah project.... anyone wishing not to be included in this please some see the the mc or whoever.

I've then seen where the person taking photos came and gave my daughter a paper to sign and saying if her photo won (it was a contest) that he would send her an enlarged copy and copy of publication.
