I wanted to let you know that I uploaded all the images to the same gallery but I did two things to negate the risk of people downloading other peoples images.

1. I counseled each person as I photographed them. That was probably the best thing to do.
2. I wrote it into the model release that they were aware of their image being available to those that were shot that day. Only those who were photographed would have access to that gallery. Some would be used in a public gallery, but those images would not be downloadable.

As for hearing back, so far I know of 3 people finding positions, 12 more got interviews and I haven’t yet heard back from the rest. Almost all used them for Facebook and LinkedIn.

Hi Michael – further to my last comment…

Have you had any feedback from your clients as to how they used the business portraits you provided them in finding employment?

Thanks!

Hi Michael! I am so inspired by your giving back to the community using your talent, that I would like to arrange a Free Magick Business Portrait event here in my city. I have one question however: When you uploaded the business portraits into one gallery, then had clients just download their own copy, how were you able to prevent them from downloading another clients portraits?

I use Nextproof, and am thinking that to make individual registered galleries, then upload all of the portraits into each gallery will take a horrendous amount of time. Do you use a different proofing site?

Thanks Michael! I appreciate your response.
