Providing Models from a Class with Pix

I took a lighting class and some of the images were keepers and one model asked for copies. There seemed to be some amount of tacit agreement that images would be provided.

These aren't really WOW shots, but what I'm wondering is if provided shots would have my logo mark on them, or when you provide, you just work off the agreement that if they use the image on their model mayhem account, they will credit you in the captions.

I don't want to be overly zealous marking the shots, nor do I want to be overly free in not marking them. What is considered customary if you are doing a work for shots agreement?

    Generally you are supposed to give credit to the model and they are supposed to give credit to the photographer. You should always have a model release signed spelling out the agreement and use/rights.

    Put a small, attractive logo in the bottom right-hand corner. Make it one or two colors only, 100% opacity but not distracting. It should be small enough that it doesn't distract from the image, but just large enough to be read without having to squint.

    Andrew,
    while you're not obligated to do it (Idon't think it was in your class agreement), I personally think it's a good manners and, for you, it's a free advertising. Just put your logo there, as it's been suggested...

    Thanks, everyone. I just left a small logo and she said that there would be a link to my site if/when they are used.
