Premises

On occasion these TFP shoots may take

place within privately owned premises that

are open to the public, such as parks, country

estates and or other undefined spaces. In the

event that the owner of such a space requires

a copy of the prints or images they will be

given consent in the same terms as this

model release, the images will not be for re-

sale under any circumstance but could be

used for and within their promotional

materials. An example of this might be

where a country estate wanted to advertise

they cater for weddings and wanted to use an

image that was taken within their grounds.
