can anyone help me out with a release form? how do i make one? what should it say?

Probably better posted in one of the main forums, this seems to be a bit of a backwater! Not a lot of point me trying to help too much as the laws in the UK are slightly different. Technically a 'release' is not required here, though most mags reqire one as part of internal policy.

Easiest is to just do a search on google but if you want some samples let me know and I'll email you a copy of one I use

How did you get the models to allow you  to post their photos in your portfolio?

Hi,

You can find a variety of free model-release forms on the Internet.  One such form can be found at the Modeling Advice web site.  The direct link to the specific page is:

http://www.modelingadvice.com/modelrelease.html

Another, somewhat more robust (and intimidating) form can be found at:

http://www.dpcorner.com/all_about/releases.shtml

Finally, a host of forms fall somewhere in between the two listed above.  Simply do a web search and choose the model release that seems most appropriate to your needs.

Take care,
Tom
