Model Release Form Free
When a model has been or will be used in photographs, video, or other art and the artist would like to receive the full legal rights to use the image in any form, a Model Release Form can be used.
Template Overview
When a model has been or will be used in photographs, video, or other art and the artist would like to receive the full legal rights to use the image in any form, a Model Release Form can be used. This agreement is also known as a Model Release Agreement.
In this document, the model releases their rights to the particular art that the artist had done. This means that the model allows the artist to do anything they would like with the art, including publish, distribute, edit, change, unless the model specifically permits something.
The model also releases any claims that they may have on future issues that may arise, like a right of privacy claim.
You fill out a form. The document is created before your eyes as you respond to the questions.
At the end, you receive it in Word and PDF formats. You can modify it and reuse it.
How to use this template
The artist looking to get legally proper permission to use images of the particular person in their work can use this document.
A model should sign the completed document. If the model is under 18, a parent/guardian will have to sign on the model's behalf. If the model is a minor, that will be put into the Model Release, and there will be an extra performance spot for the parent or guardian.
Applicable law
In the US, specific-state laws govern Model Release Forms. They cover what should be implicated in the use of another person's image, for example, a right of publicity and privacy laws. State laws, as well as certain specific Federal laws, including 18 U.S.C. Section 2252, cover the rights of minors and their images.
