FAQs

When is a Model Release needed?

A Model Release is required for all images where an identifiable human face is present. There are no exceptions. If the image is of a child/minor (under the age of 18), a model release must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.

A model release should be uploaded with each file and if you have successive shots of the same model, the model release should be uploaded with each shot. The Model Releaes contains an area where a valid witness signature must appear on the model release. The witness is usually someone of legal age and other than the photographer.

How are Model Releases uploaded? What should I do for multiple individuals in a photograph?

Model releases are uploaded during the image upload process. When you reach the Image Detail screen, you will have the option to browse your files and attach the model release. We accept model releases in JPG format only.

If you have multiple individuals in a photograph, a model release is needed for each individual. The best method is to create a JPG version of each model release and stitch all the documents as a single JPG image (that contains all the models in the image. This must be clearly legible.).

When is a Property Release needed?

As a photographer you should obtain a property release when the image contains an identifiable property. This isn't just for houses as it could apply to pets, cars, boats, and other personal properties. The more recognizable and unique the property (and the more the owner's identity might be connected to or determined from the property) the greater the need for a property release.
