  10. Yay for a guide to the business side of picture making! I’d love to win a copy of this here on the Southern most tip of Africa..hint hint nudge nudge wink wink

  26. I have Jack and Ed’s Survival Manual book, and haven’t even cracked it (along with some other books I desperate need to read). The legal nonsense really gives me a headache. I don’t like it, and I don’t want to do it. No offense to Jack and Ed, but that stuff just really sucks…

  38. As a student in Professional Photography course and about to start my own business I would love to have your free copy of your Legal DVD set to help me avoid costly mistakes.
    Keep up the great work and I am really enjoying Scotts Photoshop CS5 book!

  72. Really like to see your blog and pick up new hints to help make photographic life easier and enjoyable. Would like to register for the legal and business from free stuff from Thur on Feb 2nd.Thanks for all you do.

  84. Hi guys I woulde be very interested in this prize as I might be on the verge of selling more stuff professionally. However I live in the UK so If you think this book is better for a US based photographer, than I’ll step out of the draw.
    Cheers

  105. I am interested in this as well. As a photographer starting a new photography business I am certain there are hundreds of mistakes I have already made.

  117. I want those dvds! This is my third year, and business is finally picking up!
    I actually have enough business to need the legal advice, but not enough money to obtain it.

  129. Hello!
    Yes, really interested in this prize!! I really need something like this since I’m just starting to get some freelance work in and am about to graduate from college. I hope I get picked!

  133. That is a coincidence, I just listened to an interview with Jack on TWIP photo yesterday. The stories Jack tells are enough to scare anyone into the copyright office. Although, if you are protected Jack says, “Please steal my work.” The settlements can be large. This stuff should be required for anyone taking photos, not just “PROS” Sign me up. 

    Floof and run

  151. I’d very much like to receive The Photographer’s legal guide dvds. Although I’m only a weekend warrior, I’m trying to increase my client base to enable me to leave the ‘day job’. So until that happens, educating myself as much as I can is the next priority.

  153. Definately would find these DVDs invaluable, so please consider me in your prize draw Scott.  ps..Did I ever say how handsome and brilliant I think you are??

  190. The DVD’s sound like they would be a great resource, definitely interested. Yesterday’s Grid was one of the best shows with Lindsay on it. She contributed a lot of valuable information. Thanks!

  191. Very keen to pick up 
    The Photographer’s Legal Guide hopefully through this free giveaway, but if that fails, then I may just have to order a copy!

  199. Scott, You’re always so generous. I would be very interested to win the DVD set, I heard Ed & Jack’s PSW class was pretty amazing!
    Thanks,
    Kristina

  209. I am very interested in theses books:  The Photographer’s Legal Guide: Model Releases & Copyright Registration and The Photographer’s Guide to Avoiding Common Business Mistakes and would love to win them.

  232. Hey, I’m Interested in The Photographer’s Legal Guide: Model Releases & Copyright Registration and The Photographer’s Guide to Avoiding Common Business Mistakes. Thank you,José

  264. I am definitely interested in this Photographers Legal Guide and the Photographers Guide to Business… These sound as if everybody that takes pictures should have a copy of these as well. Theres nothing better than knowing your rights and learning how to protect yourself. Gimme… I want both! :D quick-before I make any legal mistakes, yikes!

  284. I have always had difficulty in either knowing or having the right process/form/approach to the legal requirements.  This appears to be just the ticket to understand all the legal mumbo jumbo.  Please put me down to enter the Free Stuff Thursday contest.

  305. I’m interested.  You can never know enough about the legalities related to the photo business.  Not to mention no getting your rights challenged by overzealous security.

  315. Remember hearing Jack Reznicki and Edward Greenburg speak @ PSW in Boston. Great presentation. Now, if only I could remember all they said. Guess I’ll have to win this prize! Oh, yes, and always get signed releases, even for local NPOs, ;-). Thx for the chance.

  337. Just getting started.   Would be of great help to me!  And, to a lot of other people….but, of course, ……hoping you pick my name!!!!
    Thank you for this opportunity!  I would be so very grateful!

  349. This would be a great resource for our photo group. We currently have 177 members in our group and another 233 members in a sister group we share with. If nothing else, I should see about planning a lecture meeting for us.

  350. I am very interested in watching the “Photographer’s legal guide”. It is also a great reference resource, when I need to prepare an invoice or somebody uses my photos without proper credit. Great price this week!

  351. I am very interested in winning The Photographer’s Legal Guide. I am the secretary for our Jacksonville Camera Club here in Florida and we have been debating this some of these issues the other night at our board meeting. If I won I could then show then! Thank You- Jan Gemeinhardt

  359. I am definitely interested.  My wife and I are just getting started and want to make sure that before we dive into booking (or trying to book) clients, we have a good solid business foundation first.  This would be very useful for us.

  361. A couple of the few Kelby Training DVDs that I DON’T already have.  These would be nice as a bonus for all the other orders.  Plus, if I don’t get them, I may shoot Pete.  Wait, that would make everyone happy!

  370. Dear Mr. Kelby:  I have been reading your books….searching for guidance. I am a Master Gardener, retired Army spouse, and an “over 50” starting a new worklife.  I LOVE photography, primarily of flowers and bugs.  I find macro-photography to be most interesting.  I am in the process of acquiring my copyright, per your suggestion, and would like to market some of my work.  I lack confidence in this process.  I am interested in the two CD’s offered for your readers.  Also, any suggestions you have would be appreciated.  I shoot with a Canon EOS Rebel T1i.  I have a
