Model Release Form

A model release form is important to get just to cover your back and make sure that the model doesn’t change there mind and don’t want you to use there image and then decided to sue etc. It is best to get one signed whenever possible. They are proof that the model has signed over any rights that they may have had over to you, the photographer, from this you can do as you wish with the images (within reason.)

After looking at a number of model release forms I think that they are really technical and could be quite over whelming to the model. I don’t want to intimidate my model with techniqual jargon so I think that I am going to make my model release form as simple as possible and easy to understand. I want the model to sign it so I can use my images freely without worry of breaking the law.
