Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are featured in a film or advertisement may need to sign a Still Photo Release to ensure that their image can be legally used by the production company. This protects both the subject's rights and the company's interests in promoting their work.
  • Situations requiring the use of a subject's photograph for promotional materials, such as posters or social media, necessitate a Still Photo Release. This document clarifies the terms under which the photo can be used, preventing potential disputes over image rights.
  • For those involved in independent film projects, securing a Still Photo Release is crucial to avoid legal complications later on. By obtaining written consent, filmmakers can confidently use the subject's image without fear of infringement claims.
  • Companies looking to utilize still images for advertising purposes must have a signed Still Photo Release from the subjects depicted. This ensures that the company has the legal authority to use the images in various marketing campaigns.
  • Photographers working with models or subjects in commercial settings should always request a Still Photo Release. This form not only protects the photographer's rights but also ensures that the subjects understand how their images will be used.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the subject is a minor and parental consent has not been obtained. In such cases, a different form that includes parental consent should be used.
  • – If the photograph is intended for personal use only and not for commercial purposes, a Still Photo Release may be unnecessary. Informal agreements or verbal consent may suffice in such situations.

  • – This form is not suitable for use in jurisdictions where specific additional requirements for photo releases exist. Always check local laws to ensure compliance.
  • – When the photograph is being used in a context that could infringe on privacy rights or other legal protections, a Still Photo Release may not be adequate to protect against legal repercussions.
