Release Form Template

A Photo Release Form is a legal document that grants a photographer or business the authorization to obtain images for personal or commercial use. An individual on the photos has to provide this authorization requesting payment, royalties, or free of charge.

How do you write a Release form?

A Release Form usually includes the following details, for example when you request release for photos:

• The name, addresses, and phone numbers of the photographer and the person in the pictures;
  
• A short description of the pictures so that it's clear which ones the letter is referring to;
  
• The validity period of the form;
  
• How the images are allowed to be used;
  
• Payment or royalties' information. Select the available option to indicate whether or not there will be payment for the released images;
• State the amount of money to be provided;
• Signatures and printed names of the parties.
  

If the agreement involves a minor, at least one parent or legal guardian should be present to sign the document.
