What we'll ask you
Plain-English questions, one at a time. No legal knowledge needed — if you don't know an answer exactly, your best estimate is fine.
- What are the photos or video for?
- Who is the photographer, creator or business the release is being given to? Give the full name (and company name if a business).
- What is the full name of the person being photographed or filmed (the model or subject)?
- Is the subject an adult, or under 18?
- Because the subject is under 18, a parent or guardian must give consent and sign. What is the full name of the parent or guardian, and their relationship to the subject?
- Describe the shoot and when it is or was: what is being photographed or filmed, and the date (or the dates it covers).
- Which uses do you want the release to permit? List all that apply — for example: commercial and advertising, editorial, portfolio, social media, stock or licensing, print, packaging, websites. Add any specific context (e.g. a named campaign).
- What territory and duration should the permission cover? Most releases are worldwide and ongoing; or you can limit it (e.g. Australia only, or for 2 years).
- Is the subject being paid or given anything for this?
- What is being paid or provided? Give the amount, or describe what the subject receives.optional
- Are there any limits the subject wants — a context the images must NOT be used in? You can skip this.optional
