Hi I am new to this site and excited to get started but I don't see any info on model releases for my photography work. I am on some stock photo sites and they won't let you up load any pictures with people unless you have model releases. Does this site ask for model or property releases>
A release is to protect the artist (and other parties who might use/post the art) against allegations deriving from the use of the model's image without the model's permission.
If you have written permission in the form of a signed release from the model, it's a little difficult for the model to turn around later and successfully assert that you didn't have permission.
Our art guild has every artists' model we hire sign a release prior to posing.
Thanks for the info. I appreciate the help. I have a few photos that have people not as main subject but in the distance that might, maybe, could possibly, kinda be recognizable. I do get releases if I am shooting with a model. Thanks again.
