This is the release I have to make you sign. Please do not be alarmed by it. I will return the rights to you to publish about 10% of what we do in any given session to edit, manipulate, or publish as you please, so long as you do not use my own images to compete with me or my publisher, Southern Charms. Should you want to use images of me for your portfolio, advertisements, art gallery, Photoshop projects, that is perfectly all right with me. Should you also want exclusive rights to anything we shoot, that is also fine with me. We can work out just about anything.
I have to make you sign this release because I, in my turn, have to sign over digital distribution rights to Southern Charms. While I am not getting rich from SC, they do support my habit and provide an audience for me. In return, I have to provide them with exclusive content. Of course, I cannot give them rights to the pictures if I do not have rights to them myself. That is where the release comes in.
