EDITORIAL: Punching Bag

Hi there!


As you can see from my portfolio, I'm pretty new here, so really learning... but still don't get this.


The editorial file:

The reject reason:


***This photograph appears to have been produced at a location or venue where photographic rights are protected, therefore not permitted for any royalty-free use, including editorial. 

An authorization to photograph must be obtained and submitted along with the image. Thanks for your understanding***

I'm not going to resubmit, because I can't not fly back to Reykjavik to get the property release LOL but I really need to understand what's the point about... 


Can anybody help me for the next similar editorial upload?


 


Thanks in advance


M.

Simple really. Editorial uploads that are taken on or in private property need consent from the property owner.


There's a post from subman (the editorial admin.) in this thread here

that gives the requirements.

Thaks for answer, I read it, but...


...which is the difference between "consent from the property owners" and "property release"?

/Property consent form

"Photographic rights are restricted or protected at many locations and events. Examples include performance venues, museums and galleries, and private residences.

These rights are also protected on identifiable private or commercial property. For instance, the rights to shoot inside an identifiable restaurant are protected.

To submit editorial images from any of these protected or restricted locations, you must provide written proof that you obtained permission.

Approach the owner or manager of the premises, explain what you are doing, and have them provide you with consent to shoot at the location.

We provide an Editorial Property Consent form that you can download and print for these purposes. The form includes the relevant information that proves you obtained consent. You can use a different document from this exact form, as long as it provides the same information."

This info, and the link I posted above, are from the Editorial Training Manual.

Donald, that link is giving me a 404 page not found.

You're right. I copied something wrong. I've got it fixed.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late for my "Using A Personal Computer 101" class.

And, while you here, that image would not pass technical requirements. Focus is too soft, kind of blurry, most likely due to the long exposure.
