Should You Get a Model Release for Photos?

A Model Release document is a formal document used largely by photographers and publishers to outline the allowances and restrictions of images and photographs that contain the likeness of an identifiable person or persons. For photographers, it largely protects them from civil liability of image use and publication.

The Release often confirms the legality and consent of the party to have their likeness captured, and/or distributed; or as outlined in the details of the Release document.

Why is the Model Release important? It identifies all parties. It demonstrates consent, age appropriateness and legality, due consideration, allowances and restrictions of relevant parties among other things. It may serve as protection against inappropriate image use by a publisher, a photographer, or any individual whose identity and likeness is clearly recognizable. The Model Release may also establish copyright ownership and image publication allowances.

All Releases are not created equal. Some are established purely for proof of age while others are considerably more detailed. Make sure you understand your rights as a subject, a photographer, and/or a model in order to protect your privacy and avoid potential liability.
