We think this is a pretty awesome combo—legal expertise and photographer know-how.

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 is generally signed by the subject of a photograph. It gives you permission to license or use the image.

This form also releases any claims the client may have to future compensation for use of images. This protects you from legal action and eliminates the unknowns around publishing images.

These model release forms allow clients to easily and legally give permission for use of their photographic images (not audio or video).

This download includes two model release forms:

• • General Release: includes language covering adults and minors

• • Limited Release: allows client to limit use of their images by the photographer

Not only does this form provide legal protection, it positions you as a credible business owner. Clients will respect your clear rules, detailed expectations, and you!

As an affordable way to protect your business, our lawyer-drafted, photographer-approved model release is a must-have investment.
