Avoid lawsuits and look more professional - get your own...

Model releases are an ugly fact of life...you have to use them. On EVERY shoot!

Whether you are a pro or not!

You need a model release - signed in advance - on every shoot you do! Whether you think you need one or not.

And, truthfully, in most cases, you DON'T legally need one...but people will sue you anyway - hoping for a quick payday from a naive photographer who will settle out of court, just to make it all "go away". If you DON'T settle, the lawyers fees could destroy your business - even if you win!

And not just for "MODELS", you need them for families, kids, pets... if it is identifiable, you need a release before you can publish that photo. That even includes putting them in your personal portfolio! Or, uploading them to Facebook, My Space, YouTube and so on... Even if you aren't a "pro" shooter!

You never know when that PERFECT shot will come along and you will want it in your samples, or on your website. Or perhaps years down the road you will find the ideal use for that one particular shot!

True, you could go back after the fact and get a release signed, but be prepared to pay your "model" some hefty fees! (If they will sign a release at all!) Once they know you like the photo and want to use it in some way, the greed bug sets in.

On the other hand - amazingly - people are flattered when you ask for a release BEFORE you shoot. They'll almost always agree to sign. Go figure...

If you ever hope to publish, sell or in any way advertise with your photos - not having a release is playing with fire. The lawsuits can DESTROY your business! Even if you were to win - the attorney's fees could bankrupt you.

First: You are constantly running out - and it's a real pain in the patootie to constantly have to be re-ordering them! Or remembering to drive down to the local camera shop and buy a pad of them. Not to mention that  over time, it can get expensive.

With these releases, you simply store the form on your computer and print out as many as you want - whenever you want them.

Second: The commercially available ones are written as a "boiler plate" contract and have no personalization. With all the filling in of names, yours included, etc. they look scary.

Imagine how much more professional your photo business will look when you have personalized release forms!

Here's an example...

...for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is acknowledged, give to "Your Name" Photo Studios ("Photographer")... Here your studio name is pre-printed...

Clearly the second option looks more professional. And that's NOT the only personalization you will have on your personalized model release forms! Plus, since it is pre-printed, it appears like you do this all the time and it's no big deal. You wouldn't have a form with your business name on it if it were some rare thing. Most people will figure...if everyone else is signing these things, I may as well sign one too. But...

Without the pre-printed personalization, and with all the filling in of blanks, it starts to look scary, like maybe lawyers need to be involved.

Oh, by the way, it's not necessary but...If you REALLY want to go the extra mile and look even MORE professional, you could print one out in advance of each session with the model's name pre-printed too!

These personalized model release forms will instantly separate you from the crowd and make you far more professional than the guy who pulls out some dog-eared pad of releases (if he even remembered to bring them). Plus, having a signed model release could save your financial life someday...
