Hopefully, she can make a few bucks more than the erstwhile photographer pocketed.

Classy, lady!

She has a good attitude about what happened, but the original photographer should have told her she was signing a release form. A good lawyer could probably help her collect some of the earnings.

FYI... I stopped reading and lost all interest at “plus size black woman”!! In the future, I would suggest not including that in your excerpt to not turn some off so soon!! Just sayin...

This happened to my sister.

She did a magazine shoot when she was a freshman in college. Several years later, I am driving down a country road and there she is on a huge billboard - well, a woman laying on her side smiling at the camera in a soda advertisement with my sister’s face pasted on.

Also, the magazine has run her other pictures again and again and again. She knew what she signed but didn’t expect it to go as far as it did. Also, she called the soft drink HQ and demanded they remove her face and they did remove the entire advertisement.

sorry, read what you sign lady.

I’m waiting for a mugshot before determining guilt or innocence.

[Tired of Taxes]

She has a great sense of humor.

She said she doesn’t have the contract. Who knows - maybe she never really agreed to allow this photographer to sell her photos.

Just like the stories of people whose online photos were stolen and sold without their permission. I read about one that turned up on a billboard in another country.

"photographer sold my pics to stock photo sites," she expressed.

Somebody got a thesaurus for Christmas.

Who would want to use that beastly looking face for anything?

I ain't make no money, gave it away. 🙂

I don’t know how common it is but years (decades really) ago when we regularly went to professionals for family photos was surprised to learn we did not “own” the photo, the photographer did!

I am sure it was in the “contract” but who reads the fine print when getting photos taken.

[discostu]

You would think somewhere in the theater program somebody would have taught the students where a big income for photographers is and make sure you read the contract and make sure it isn’t actually a release.

[Vermont Lt]

If the model signed a release she is SOL.

[Mr. Jeeves]

This era of model releases and lawsuits over stock content will soon come to an end as digitally generated imagery becomes the standard. Who is going to hire actual models when computers can generate images that are exactly what an advertiser wants?

And next up for replacement? Hollywood...

This happened to Jennifer who worked at WKRP in Cincinnati who had er... nude photos taken of her while in the change room at a photographers. He was going to sell them to a x-rated magazine.
The guys at the radio station managed to get the photos and negatives back.

[Organic Panic]

She certainly has a face and attitude suitable for horror.

And the bonnet is extra classy when you’re carrying around an extra 200lbs.
