CC and the like can't be blamed for buying stolen goods. They act within the law which requires they get as much proof of ownership as possible. Usually two forms of ID, if more was required I could not sell any of my legitimate goods. I'm not saying some of the gear in these type of shops isn't stolen but I couldn't say for certain that some camera shops aren't selling stolen goods either.

To assume these type of shops mostly sell stolen goods is wrong. Pawn shops have existed for ages and there are many reasons why people sell their goods. How you prove that the gear is stolen or ascertain if it is. Well that's a tough one.



I just can't see how CC could tell if a camera was stolen unless they were given access to a database of stoloen property. Asking for serial numbers is no use, they would have to assume that all of my camera gear was stolen. Once it was known that the serial number was needed every theif would just read off the serial number before taking it in.

I have no proof of ownership for my cameras and I have sold my old cameras via ebay, again with no proof of ownership.

The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool is hosting Rankin's exhibition Alive: In the Face of Death.

Link - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-22554423
 

After photographing the world's most famous faces, from Kate Moss and Madonna to Tony Blair and the Queen, Rankin has now turned his lens on real people with terminal illnesses.  Alive: In the Face of Death is at the Walker Gallery until 15 September. The exhibition has been documented by BBC Two's The Culture Show for an episode to be broadcast later in the year and is part of Liverpool's Look/13 photography festival.


Best regards
Paul

For someone new your portfolio exhibits a confidence in posing, and a good figure to go with it too. Where I think you should give attention is in facial expression and maybe your hair styling/colouring.

A good start and enough images to get the message.

As I said Jen, I would rather be viewed as a completely reliable and rewarding photographer based on my reputation and portfolio and be offered a good deal for that. I tend not to do one off bookings but would consider it if the reduction was worthwhile from someone I believed would be reliable.

My only no show however was from someone with tons of credentials at the time but since seems to have given up modelling seriously so that would concern me, but if the reduction was worthwhile, I would consider taking the chance. It is after all a risk transfer for cash.

I however suspect I am an exceptionally low risk to models which I have made a priority of any dealings I have had and I guess I would be a little sad to think someone still didn't feel reassured taking a booking from me.

Most transactions on here are one off's and people here seem to use cancelling / not showing as a way of life - I can really see the benefit here as it will encourage both sides to take the shoot seriously but of course the balance of power shifts a bit to the model. But I suspect a couple of no shows from a model who has taken a deposit will spend the end of her career in any serious way, so they have a lot to lose also.

I shoot with so few that a late cancellation on me is likely to end any further working relationship which I find is enough security for me.

The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 – Your photos and you.

Myth: the provisions remove the automatic right to copyright for owners of photos posted online
Fact: The powers do not remove copyright for photographs or any other works subject to copyright.

Myth: anyone can use a photo they have found on the internet as an “orphan” if they cannot find the copyright owner after a search
Fact:  A licence must be obtained to use a work as an “orphan”. This will require the applicant to undertake a diligent search, which will then need to be verified by the independent authorising body which the Government will appoint before a wor k can be used.

Myth: works will have their metadata stripped and be licensed en masse as orphans under the Extended Collective Licensing provisions
Fact: the Orphan Works scheme and Extended Collective Licensing (ECL) are separate and the orphan works scheme is about licensing of individual works. The Government will have no power to impose ECL on a sector, and the safeguards included in the scheme mean that ECL is only likely to be an option where there is strong existing support for collective licensing. Any rights holder who is worried about how their work could be used under an ECL scheme will always retain the ability to opt out. It is unlikely that ECL will be an option for photography where there is a strong tradition of direct licensing: there is no collecting society for photographers in the UK, so no application for an ECL is feasible at present.

Myth: anyone will be able to use my photos for free if they cannot find whoowns them?
Fact: If a work is licensed following the verification of the diligent search, there will be a licence fee payable up front for its use. The fee will be set at the going rate.

Myth:  anyone can use my photos without my permission
Fact:  Anyone wishing to use a work as an orphan must first undertake a diligent search for the rights holder which is then verified with permission to use the work granted by the Government appointed independent authorising body. If the work is not genuinely orphan then the rights-holder should be found, if the search is not properly diligent, no licence will be issued.

Myth: the Act is the Instagram Act
Fact: Given the steps that must be taken before an orphan work can be copied, such as the diligent search, verification of the search and payment of a going rate fee, it is unlikely that the scheme will be attractive in circumstances where a substitute photograph is available. The rate payable for an orphan work will not undercut non-orphans.

Myth: a company can take my work and then sub-license it without my knowledge, approval or any payment
Fact: The licences to use an orphan work will not allow sub-licensing.

Myth: the stripping of metadata creates an orphan work
Fact: the absence or removal of metadata does not in itself make a work “orphan” or allow its use under the orphan works scheme

Myth: I will have to register my photos to claim copyright
Fact: Copyright will continue to be automatic and there is no need to register a work in order for it to enjoy copyright protection.

Myth: the UK is doing something radical and unprecedented with the Orphan Works powers
Fact: Other jurisdictions already allow the use of orphan works. The UK powers are largely based on what happens in Canada - which has been licensing orphan works since 1990.

So how will the Orphan Works scheme work?

Emma Kate Dawson will be making her first appearanc here at Pixel 8 and as you probably know she is a fully published model appearing in magazines and newspapers internationally. Although she is so sought after Emma is wonderful to work with and enjoys working with amateurs as well as professionals. Naturally able to take direction, yet at the same time quite capable to model with none. You will produce fabulous images combining the white room and this model.

what if its a non refundable deposit?



When I started out, I was advised by a Business Advisor that the two terms are entirely different. A Deposit is an amount taken off of the final sum so you pay a £50 deposit for a £200 shoot leaving a balance of £150.

If it's a Booking Fee, thats a separate charge from the shoot so you would price this as £50 Booking Fee and £150 for the shoot. Same outcome regarding total money paid but different wording.

Think about buying on EBay. If you pay £10 plus £2 postage and ask for your money back you only get £10 back. If the item was £12 and free postage, you get the full £12 back....

I believe if the shoot doesn't take place, however you word it the 'Deposit' must be refunded. A 'Booking Fee' covered the booking and therefore does not.
