Who does this work for?

Are you thinking that you don’t need a model release?
Au contraire! This simple model release is perfect for all photographers and videographers. No matter the type of photography that you engage in, you’ll want to secure the rights to use, publish, and showcase your work right from the start. A well-written model release (just like this template!) sets clear expectations while respecting your intellectual property and your client’s right to privacy. You’re a smart cookie, make it clear everyone.
What’s included? What legal terms should be in a model release?
A model release should set out the terms of your artistic collaboration. It should be comprehensive and include everything from who the agreement is between (you and your fabulous clients!) to who owns the intellectual property rights to the work created, to what compensation is owed. A well-written, high-quality model release (like this one!) lets subjects know that you take this seriously and so should they. A model release protects your business and empower you to let your creativity shine while protecting your models too!
