I would make sure that you get to have final approval on any (and all) pics that are used and copywritten. I wish I had done that several years ago when I had some pics taken professionally....back in the old film & 35mm camera days  |
Usually big groups like Suicide Girls don't give much or any say to their models. Ultimately the company owns the copyright so they don't have to really listen to you. Granted most photographers will listen to you on some accounts but they also get say over the model most of the time (just how the industry works). There are alot of exceptions to this though. And if you think about it, your ideas may be good and you may have things to say but the photographer is the one with the training and the experience. Plus SG has really good photographers and chances are they will do a great job portraying you.
Also the chances are very very slim that they will give you the actual negaives but I believe you do get something sometimes depending on the situation. Again, it's a copyright issue. I am happy to give my models copies of their photos but if I were to find them selling those photos without my consent or something I would definately not be happy.
Also, as to this man's opinion of the company. I really don't believe they are doing anything that any other company wouldn't do. I mean yeah it sucks but contract breaches are usually not taken lightly. Really, companies do that all the time and I wouldn't rule out modeling for them because of it.
