"I am NOT a professional photographer, rather I am a photography hobbyist. I love taking photographs of everything that I think is beautiful and/or relevant. I do not sell my photos or make a profit out of them so you can be rest assured that I will not use your photo or image for commercial purposes. My work is sometimes posted online for critiquing by professionals; if your photo is posted, I shall do everything so that it will not be copied by others for any other purpose. Thank you for giving permission to take your photograph; it is much appreciated. If you wish to have a printed or digital copy of your photograph, please send me your request at the e-mail address printed on the reverse side of this card."
these are the cards i keep in my camera bag and on the reverse side is the blurb above. it's worked so far for me, but what do you think?
I think this is a wonderful idea. I think I shall follow your lead an make myself a couple. I probably won't use very many though as I so seldom take pics of humans!!
What a great idea! Do you mind if I copy and paste this to make some of these up for myself? It would make me feel better about street photography, which I used to love, but don't do very often.
I just show them my project 365 badge and tell them they have no rights. LOL Ok , I don't I really think that is an amazing idea. You also can get your cards printed for free at Vista Prints.
If I ever took pictures of total strangers this would help. Guess I have always been worried about what someone would say. I may make some up just because.
