When you enlarge a thumbnail picture by clicking on it, the Model Release Status information is displayed below each stock picture
When is a signed model release needed?
Picture, which depict people, may require a signed model release. It is up to you to decide whether the license usage will require a release. You should be aware that when a model release is available additional considerations may mean that the model release in itself is not sufficient, e.g. if the picture is to be used for sensitive issues.
What situations would make a signed model release void?
Some picture uses would make a signed release void. The following is for guidance only and is not a full list :
(a) Defamation of Character - embellishment, distortion, or fictionalization of a person's character.
(b) Sensationalized use - a use intended to distort the "truth" of an picture.
(c) Sensitive Issues
(d) Alcohol
(e) Gambling,
(f) Guns and weapons
(g) Medical and mental health issues
(h) Negative financial portrayal
(i) Political fanaticism
(j) Sexual and sexual health issues
(k) Tobacco
(l) Always Remember!
No matter whom you are buying stock pictures from, us or anyone else, there is absolutely no way we can overemphasize the significance of these model release issues - if those pictures have recognizable people in them.
MAKE SURE that the photo agency you are dealing with has signed and "perfected" model releases and that they are available. Do NOT make the mistake of saying to yourself that, well, if there's a problem, it's the photo agency's problem, not mine. It is your problem and it can very rapidly become a huge one if you're not careful.
