Is it a tear sheet if...
it's for an obituary? Jan 19 13 06:54 pm Link i would classify it as a portrait for publication. Jan 19 13 06:56 pm Link 291 wrote: And when I rip it out and put it in my portfolio?

I think they have an idea it was her boyfriend but have never been able to pin it on him. It was very sad. Jan 20 13 04:18 pm Link tear sheets are normally from a paid to shoot expressly for publication purpose. To use one from an obituary would be seen as a bit of a desperate claim on one. Now maybe if one was hired to take the shot after they died, but I still wouldn't use it. Jan 20 13 07:27 pm Link You use a tear sheet to help get you jobs. If the jobs you are trying to get are taking photos of people so they have something good to use for their obituary photo, then it works. Not exactly conventional, but I guess everyone is a possible customer ;P Jan 20 13 07:48 pm Link Feels like an act of pure desperation. ;-) Jan 20 13 07:57 pm Link Sitting on the fence for a moment, I think it depends a little on the circumstances. If the image in the publication was of a celeb and one of your portrait images was used for the obit and it was printed nice and large and was a feature on that celebs life. Then in one way I will feel a bit honoured that out of all the 10s of thousands of images of that celeb mine had been used to celebrate their life at the end of it. Its still a bit dark to use as a tear sheet... but if its a little standard obit column, with a little photo of someone then that is really desperately scrapping the barrel for images....
