There needs to be a substantial difference between the work in which the stock-image is used, and the stock-image itself.
I recognize that such a statement reflects asubjective opinion, but really... slapping a color-filter on it just isn't enough. It's still clearly and obviously my image.
Does that help?
Where no model is portrayed, commercial uses is no longer an issue. This is because I am obligated to inform some models of the uses to which their likeness appears, and to attempt to seek out some compensation or recognition on their behalf.
This isn't an issue with no model present.
But I still very much want to see what's
I just wanted to know if the no model ones were allowed to be used for commercial use. It's rather hard to find decent stock- but most often time I have no money and make no profit on the items i make, so its rather dreadful to have to buy a license when i make no profit in the first place.
For those with a model, I want the right to yea/nay it. The prices are reasonable and negotiable for commercial purposes. I won't lay out any prices here. That's best discussed in private.
This is of particular concern if it is model-stock, as I have an obligation to attempt to inform the model of every use of his or her likeness I am aware of.
