I can’t say this enough. Always protect your images with a watermark and don’t release them without a contract. When you’re shooting for someone, those images are for the client and no one else. I do allow other people to look at my images, as part of my portfolio, but I do not release them unless the contracting party has no interest in them, or they are used soley for training purposes.
I do have lots of great images that will never be released due to contractual agreements regarding the subjects that are involved and the people that are in them. You will see those images in other publications and TV shows.
The funny thing is, as photographers, we are always walking that line between showing our images to people and not losing control of what we shot.
Just be careful!
