Model Release Form

As we approach a new year, I scurried to complete my 2009 “Lessons to Learn” list. Today I watched world class photographer Jack Reznicki and New York-based Intellectual Property Attorney Ed Greenberg talk about the importance of Model Release forms on Kelby Training.com. The chemistry these two have keeps you entertained as they bust some of the myths photographers have about model release forms. Ed’s stories amplifies pitfalls from not having a signed release as Jack gives the photographer’s point of view. The online class also includes forms you can download.

In short:

  • You ALWAYS need a model release form.
  • Complete the form, leave no blanks.
  • Laws change from state to state, know your state law.
  • Have a witness sign (preferable someone with no vested interested)
  • A new release needs to be signed for each shoot.
  • Get a copy of the model’s driver’s licenses.
  • Give a copy to the model
  • Keep your signed copy FOREVER.
