Hola, me han rechazado por problemas tecnicos estas fotos, en otras agencias han sido aceptada sin necesidad de un model release. Tal vez sea eso el problema?

Agradeceria ayuda.

Hi @Paolo5EB7 , no you would not need a model release in these cases.  I am not sure whether or not the rapid antigen test would trigger an Intellectual Property (IP) violation.  The reason you were given (Technical Issues) is a valid reason.  When you review your photos at 100% magnification on a large screen (which you should always do before submitting) you can see several issues quite easily.  First is the shallow depth of field, preventing more of your image to be in focus.  Several of the images are also slightly underexposed, and have issues with artifacts, chromatic aberration and colour fringing.

 

Take a look at some of these captures of your images.

 

 

The antigen test text is not in sharp focus, there is lots of noise on it and purple and blue fringing along the top and side.  Looking at your model's hands, similar issues of artifacts and colour fringing.

 

 

The model's hand is severely out of focus and you can see the halos along his thumb.  It looks like you tried to correct some of the chromatic aberration but it has discoloured the model's forearm.

 

I like your composition, but I would suggest you retake these images.  F1.8 is too shallow for this type of shot.  You may have to increase your lighting, slow down your shutter speed and get your model to sit very still.  🙂

 

Here are some resources that you might find useful:

 

 

Best of luck with your future submissions.

    That may also be the white balance that is incorrect, or the good man was so frightened that the blood drained from his arm.

     

    If, indeed, you open your lens to f1.8, you really need to be sure about your focus. As a side note: by closing the lens aperture, you get less chromatic aberration, up to the point, where your lens provides the best optical quality.

    If they say "technical issues" it does not mean model release, it means the photo is not technically perfect. I do not see the fault. But if you can fix it, the question of releases (model and IP) remains.

    Does it need a model release? Adobe say Still not sure if you need a model release? Ask yourself: “Would the people in my photo recognize themselves?” If your answer is “Yes,” then you need one. Keep in mind that recognition can be based on just about anything, including personal characteristics like tattoos and birthmarks as well as external factors in the photo like other recognizable people, unique clothing, equipment, or location. That’s why it’s always safer to get a model release, even for a close-up shot of a body part. 

    I interpret this as a yes. The person photographed would probably remember this photo shoot, so they can recognise themselves; this is true for any planned shot, rather than someone incidentally in a picture.

    Does this need an IP release? Surely yes, from the maker of the medical device.
