Photography Print Release

Photography Print Release
From printing rights to social media usage, the complexities of legally protecting your images can be intimidating.
Since many clients opt for digital files to share on social media and print themselves, giving clients digital files is a great way to earn extra income. But you need to do it the right way.
If you want to retain rights to all images, a print release form provides the legal protection you need, while giving permissions to the client for digital image reproduction.
A print release form gives your client permission to print and share images for personal use. It does not permit them to use images for commercial use or other reasons. To help educate and protect your art, this document also reemphasizes copyright laws.
This affordable photo release form is tailored to professionals just like you. Our team of lawyers and photographers at TheLawTog® develop, review, and approve every release.

Why choose TheLawTog?
Headed by Rachel Brenke, TheLawTog is the only dedicated resource for photographers. With practicing lawyers, business consultants, CPA, financial planners (and more!) you’ll get information with first-hand experience to help your photography business.
Can I edit the contracts?
Yes! They come as .doc files so you can fill-in-the-blank, remove or add what you need. We provide options and headings to easily allow for editing.
Can I use these contracts if not in the US?
TheLawTog®’s contract forms are drafted on general American law-based contract principles and are applicable to many states. Due to variations in law based on location and business policies, the contracts are editable and easily adaptable. If you are a photographer outside the US, the policies may be implemented for your business, but U.S. Federal Copyright laws and other legal theories may not apply. For example, in the United States, unless otherwise contracted, the photographer retains copyright ownership of images. However, in other countries, the law may give the copyright ownership to the client and necessitate a provision for transfer.
