Copyright law question about models and photography
I am hiring a photographer and a model, through a modeling agency, for a shoot that is at my place of business. These two parties don’t know each other. I anticipate that they will have a bit a a conflict over the images. As I understand it, the photographer will claim the photos belong to him, and he is going to want the model to sign a waiver. The model can’t do this even if she wanted to, because she has a contract with her agency. Obviously, I’m not an expert in all this. I was just curious the standard protocol is in this situation. I don’t want them to get into some dispute that stalls the photoshoot, because I’m paying both of them.

Usually the agency has the call on this.
Might need to sit down with the photographer and discuss before hiring.
According to a colleague (pro photographer), the agency contract dictates all terms and condition for both end user and photographer.
