Interesting how the perspectives differ. I took pictures at the Patras (Western Greece) Carnival this year. But I mostly go for the wide shots, while you seem to prefer close-ups.
Which brings me to a question: If you sell the photos via Shutterstock, don't you need a model release for these close-ups? Or are there special rules for public events like a carnival parade?
Wonderful photos you've made there, that's the first time I hear about this carnival, thanks for sharing!
Your question is great. 😉 It will be hard to answer it with just a couple of sentences but let's say that if you have model releases the agency could license the photos for commercial purposes otherwise they could be licensed only for editorial purposes.
It is a complex matter and some agencies do not accept editorial content at all. I intentionally do not use the word "sell" because your visuals are never sold. 😉 The agency gives the rights to the customer to use the particular image for certain purposes for certain amount of time. The owner never changes and is always the creator of the photograph. There are many rules and some photos are not accepted for licensing even as editorial content. For example isolated portraits of small kids or graffiti. Here a property release is required. Said shorty, it's a long story. 📸🙏
Thanks for the explanation!
I only used EyeEm till now. Last year they told me about "editorial purposes", after I uploaded a photo with 2 people in the distance (impossible to identify, IMO). I thought, there might be an exception for parades or other public events. But OK, just for editorial purposes then.
It's in Northern Greece, so I think it will take you 7-8 hours to drive to it, considering passing the two borders. You will be passing near the place I live at the moment, so that might be an advantage as well :D :P
The last weekend of the festival is totally worthy attending to ;)
Perhaps the other events as well, but I don't know...

Never heard of this carnival before but it looks so colourful and interesting :D

That sounds interesting! Thanks for giving all the information :D
