If you’re working with independent models—or clients—it’s important to understand how model releases work. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or just starting out, knowing when and how to use a model release can save you a lot of headaches down the line.
In my latest video, I cover everything you need to know about model releases, particularly for those working with paid models or in a TFP (Trade for Print) arrangement. You’ll learn why having a model’s permission upfront is necessary if you plan to use their likeness in any kind of advertising or some promotional material. I also share practical tips on what key elements to include in your model release to make sure you’re fully covered.
Plus, I’m offering a special bonus here: free model release templates that you can download and start using today. These templates are perfect for getting those important signatures and making sure that your work remains protected. And that’s not all—you’ll also get a camera bag checklist, photoshoot notebook sheets, and a quick guide to off-camera flash, all free.
