Something to think about

2008-08-07T12:58:00.000-07:00

SECOND SHOOTER'S RELEASE OF LIABILITY
There could be situations such as the one that transpired in the Boston area recently. In that incident, a wedding photographer totally disappeared, leaving her clients without their pictures. An attorney for one of the clients began to pursue the second shooter for photos, who felt it necessary to hire his own attorney after the client mentioned possible liability. He ended up drafting an agreement with the client that released him of any and all liability in exchange for providing her with a disk of images (after waiting an appropriate time for the primary photographer to respond). He now plans on having a specific second shooter release of liability agreement drafted up for any future assisting gigs.

Pro Photographers

2008-08-02T06:42:00.000-07:00

August 11th I will be sending a letter to thousands of Pro photographers in the USA, to let them know about Second Shooter USA and how we can benifit from it. Also when you get hooked up as a second shooter let me know. I will do some features on hired individuals. Well back to xcel to sort all of these photographers addresses. Have a great day.

Bill
