Model Releases- If you plan to use your images for advertising or portfolio purposes, a model release form is an essential way to protect your photography business. A model release protects you from legal action, eliminate the unknowns around usage of client photos. It is generally signed by the subject of a photograph and covers the following perpetual and irrevocable specifics:
- Standard release form - a standard model release document used for standard photographer usage of photographs and client’s publicity rights
- Limited release by client’s choice of specific photographs
- Limited release to exclude photographs containing specific contents from being published (such as pre-wedding photos, alcohol, different phases during day. getting dressed and more.)
Print Release - The print release form is readily customizable to be included with digital file orders to outline the do's and dont's that the client can do with your art. This gives the client the permission to print only – does not give permissions for commercial or other uses. This does reemphasize the copyright laws.
