Hiring foriegners for photo shoots

hi there,

I am planning to start a media company where i would go and click photogarphs of foriegners traveling to India. Obtain a model release from them and then sell the images online.

 

What legalities do you think is required in such cases? Do I need to obtain any special permissions/work permits?

 

I hear that in Mumbai movie directors hire foriegners for a day's shoot or something like that. So i am sure there must be some procedure they follow?

 

Are there any guidelines?

 

Kindly let me know!

Yes, you need to register a company under Companies Act. 1956 for carrying out media business.

If you are selling those images online, make sure that you did not violate any copy rights (like getty images)
