Using Auto Show Pictures?

    Hi,

    I'm going to an auto show tonight and I had an idea.

    There will be a lot of scantily clad car models crawling all over the place. Is it legal to take pictures of these models and use those pictures to promote some of my websites? They are my pictures technically, so can I do this?

    I was also thinking of taking video and asking models to say into the camera: "i love [INSERT WEBSITE DOMAIN]"

    Sound legit? Anyone try anything like this before?

    Thanks.

    If the models don't give you a slap, and there are no restrictions on taking photos at the actual event - then in that case you own the copyright to your own photos.

    Some of them may sue you that you use their picture for comercial use without permission. But if they didnt find their picture or dont know about it, that should be fine. It's better to ask them first can you use their photo in your site. ;)
