There has to be a balance between give and take. I don't buy the non-profit either. I live in Utah for almost ten years. Exposure is an offer that will never get you very far from the West. The real deal is on the East. Excellent comments and right on the spot!

Someone should get a written agreement with the Days of 47 before anyone gets too involved I was invited to help with this last year and it turned into nothing – Days of 47 rodeo would not allow photography, the concerts were closed to outside photography and model releases were required from anyone photographed during the parade.

I can shoot one or two of the following days. July 20th, 22nd or 25th. Thanks Matt I would like for the competitors to Pre-sign model releases. I will not have time to chase down everyone I photograph. It is helpful to keep a small notebook on you and record the names as announced. Then shoot. Match up the model releases after with the images. We need to have the Days of 47 main person sign a paper that explains what they will do for the photographers.

Otherwise this is another grab for photo rights and an attempt to avoid paying for photography services as an attempt to cut budgets. The publicity needs to be equivalent to the service provided unless this is a pro-bono deal for a non-profit (I don't think days of 47 is a non-profit) Need for the release depends on how the days of 47 wants to use the image. If it's billboards or other advertising of a single subject or group of subjects you would likely need releases. If it is an overview of a crowd at a public event, used for "documentary purposes" you maybe safe without a release. Talking to a good lawyer who deals with model releases would be a good idea. Safest to always get a release if you can. I shot some events at days of 47 for a small newspaper years ago. Form that experience I would say; It's best to have days of 47 supply press passes (or other photographer passes) so it's easy to get around the venues. I would also say that days of 47 should acquire the releases from some people; like bands, performers, rodeo stars, parade participants, officials, etc; who the days of 47 are the point of contact. The photographer would be responsible for getting releases from attendees that they photograph. (note: days of 47 should use the release form from the photographer taking the photos when acquiring releases). Sounds like a great idea, if they hold to the publicity deal.

Maybe someone else out there knows. If you know please post a comment. I’m not sure now necessary it is. Maybe someone else out there knows. If you know please post a comment.
