Model Releases, 2257, and the IRS – Oh My! (A One-Night Intensive Primer on Photographer/Model Paperwork)
Thursday, October 15
7:00PM – 9:30PM
Photographers and models need to be aware of industry norms, rules, and laws, but the internet is crammed with opinions, ideas, and advice that is not necessarily correct. To add to the confusion, model releases are governed by state law, while 2257 and IRS rules are Federal. In this workshop, we will discuss model releases in general, and then the issues of underage models, identification, and reasonableness. Next, we will cover IRS law pertaining to model payment, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. Finally, we will cover the new Federal paperwork associated with what is commonly called “2257”. Attention to these details can save photographers and models money and time, and help develop a professional image with peers. Attendees will leave this workshop with a packet of examples of both good and bad practices, and a solid foundation of knowledge. This workshop is open and suggested for both models and photographers.
