Then again, maybe I won't even print it. Or maybe I will, and it won't sell well, or it could sell very well. So, as I understand it, I just present myself as a local fine art photographer, depending where I am, can give them a business card. And just say I would love to take a picture of their house. Tell them my general backround. And cross my fingers.
Doesnt matter what word you use to describe your photography. If you sell a photo of someone's house for money in a non-editorial context, you need a signed release, just as you do for a photograph of a person. There is a book in print that has examples of model and property releases, as well as other contracts and legal type documents that can be used.
I consider it good etiquette to bring back a nicely matted print and present it to the homeowner.
hmmm that's funny I never bothered. I don't think I'd like photography very much if I had to get releases signed....or talk to strangers....or keep track of anything more than gear, negs and prints. I don't sell alot of work. It hurts too much. I give it away.
