Photo/Video Model Release
This is the photo/video release I use on location. You may copy the text onto your own letterhead, or simply add your company name to the PDF. Download the Word version to edit, or the PDF to print and sign.
I recommend a signed release for anyone who appears in your photographs or video. It is not needed when an employee has already signed a similar release at the time of hire. Without one, an employee could later claim they never gave permission to use their image, which could mean pulling those images from use or canceling an ad campaign entirely.
Who Should Sign
• Employees: anyone featured in marketing or advertising without a release on file.
• Customers and visitors: anyone on site who appears in a photo or video.
• Contractors and vendors: outside crews working in the shot.
• On-camera talent: spokespeople, presenters, and interview subjects.
