Frequently asked questions
When do I need a photo release?
It is a good idea before you publish or sell images of an identifiable person, especially for marketing or commercial use.
What if the person in the photo is a minor?
A parent or guardian should give permission and sign on their behalf. Use the guardian signature line for that.
Can permission be limited to certain uses?
Yes. Use the usage section to state exactly where and how the images may appear.
