For example, under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, a photographer in the United Kingdom can, subject to certain exclusions and unless specifically agreed to the contrary, use any photograph in any way he or she chooses, including selling them for profit.
Legal requirements for a model release vary from place to place and from situation to situation, as does the situation regarding copyright. The model or photographer may agree to only use specifically agreed upon pictures (to avoid sub-standard pictures that damage the photographer's or model's reputation), or the photographer may agree to only use certain images in printed publications and not on the internet. Usage ĭepending on local laws, a model or photographer might agree to limit or to 'not use' some of the pictures from a shoot. Unless such a time period has been specifically discussed and agreed prior to the shoot, finished pictures ideally should be delivered within two weeks. Speed of delivery can vary as well, from a CD burned at the end of the shoot before the model leaves up to several months. The number of pictures which the photographer delivers to the model can range from a single photograph up to all shots taken. The model can build a portfolio of photographs to show to prospective clients at little or no cost, while the photographer gets a model for a particular project or their portfolio with little, if any, outlay of cash.Įach photo shoot arranged is usually negotiated separately, and the terms can vary widely. There are benefits to both parties of such an arrangement. Similarly, with the ease and convenience of digital high-resolution images, the generic term TF* has evolved, where it does not necessarily refer to a tangible CD or printed image since the same accepted rules apply. With TFCD, the photographer provides the selection of images on a CD instead of prints.
Since photos can now be delivered by means other than printed, some variant wordings of this arrangement are time for CD or trade for CD ( TFCD). Both the photographer and the model get together and exchange their time, for free, and each receives the photos for their own usage. "Time" refers to each person's time spent during the photo shoot and "print" refers to a physically printed photo, usually on photo paper.

Time for prints (or trade for prints, time for pics, TFP, and sometimes prints for time, PFT) is a term that describes an arrangement between a model and a photographer whereby the photographer agrees to provide the model with a certain number of pictures of selected photographs from the session, and a release or license to use those pictures in return for the model's time.
