TheLawTog – Model Release Forms

Understanding how to legally protect your photography business can be overwhelming.

 

From marketing materials to portfolio usage, knowing where and how you can use your images can be intimidating.

 

That’s why we offer affordable model release forms tailored to professionals just like you. Our team of lawyers and photographers at TheLawTog® develop, review, and approve every release.

 

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.

 

Please note – if you are looking for a document that gives the client complete confidence that you will not share the photographs you need the Privacy of Photographs Agreement.
