All that googling will make you go blind Jun 23 05 10:22 am Link How about this: THE IMAGES ARE MINE! ALL MINE AND NOBODY ELSES! I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT WITH THEM!!! MUAH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! Ok, that's probably a little extreme. Find something a little friendlier. :-) Jun 23 05 10:29 am Link Posted by LarryB: Wow...LMAO...

Jun 23 05 10:51 am Link my lawyer wrote this for me. there is an adult and a minor form, (my minor release is with the minor not the parent bc legally the minor can revoke the contract at any point in her life, the only thing you could do is then sue the parent for breach, my release gives the model until a week after the age of majority to ratify) plus a proposed form of consideration form they sign before we start so you don't get caught with your pants down at the end of the shoot when a model says. "TFP?" or "$50 an hour you said $100." http://www.smlphotography.com/Modeling_Info.html good luck. cheers scott Jun 23 05 10:51 am Link Just use a standard release. Write any restrictions on the margin, ie "no porn web site or men's magazine use". Both parties initial the changes, sign it and the change becomes part of the release.

I alter them (slightly) to add "no sales" when I do TFP. http://home.earthlink.net/~m_h_young/PhotoForms.html witnesses are good, so is adding a drivers licence# (you never know when/where a model may move!) Jun 23 05 11:46 am Link How important are witnesses? From a technical standpoint they are important, but I usually don't bother with them and have never had a problem.
