HI,
We did a shot a pool party at our neighborhood pool last summer.
Because it was on private property we don't need to worry about getting releases from people/kids that are in some of the photos, do we? The pool wants to use the photos on their website.
I wouldn't think so but wanted to check to be sure.

Thanks,
Andy

Nope, you still need to get releases from the people who are recognizable in the shots. Private property doesn't lessen their rights unless somewhere you have a posted notice that says something to the tune of 'People on this property are subject to photography which can be used at the discretion of company X..'

Now a corporate gathering where everyone is under contract and their rights are usually minimized might have had a different outcome.

The easiest way to capture events/parties at locations is to have a sign in sheet that is a stated waiver.

Of course, I am not a lawyer. wink

Here is a good video on Model Release and explaining when and why you need a release. This one is free and then if you are a member of Kelby Training you can sign in and watch the rest of the class.

Best Business Practices is in the library that is available to pro members. It's very popular so if you want to check it out, let me know ahead and I'll reserve it if it's available.
