When to use this form

This template fits photographers, filmmakers, agencies, and creators who need permission to use a person's image, voice, or likeness. Use it for studio shoots, ads, influencer content, UGC, casting, or BTS video. It protects you when publishing on websites, social, print, or billboards, and it helps the model know where and how their image will appear. For festivals, conferences, or street coverage, pair it with the Public event photography contract form. If your subject is under 18, switch to the Photo release form for minors. For simple consent without model-specific terms, the Photo release consent form may be enough. The outcome: clear rights, fewer takedown requests, and a clean paper trail your clients can trust.

Must Ask Model Release Agreement Questions

What is the model's full legal name, contact information, and age?
Clear identity prevents mix-ups and lets you reach the signer later. Age flags when you must collect a parent or guardian signature; without it, usage can be blocked.
What specific uses do you authorize, including media, placements, territory, and duration?
Defining scope avoids overuse claims and matches rights to your actual campaign. It also aligns budget, ad buys, and renewals with the permission granted.
Do you allow edits or alterations, including retouching, composites, captions, or AI-generated variations, and are there any exclusions?
Calling this out prevents disputes over creative changes or implied endorsements. You can set red lines such as no political, adult, or medical contexts.
What compensation or consideration will you receive and how will it be delivered?
Consideration (payment or value in kind) helps make the release enforceable. Stating amount, method, and timing reduces chargebacks and confusion.
May we share or license the content with clients, partners, and advertising platforms, and is this release irrevocable?
Confirming sublicensing and transfer rights keeps agencies and brands covered down the chain. Irrevocability reduces the risk of takedowns after you publish.
