Title: Is there a general Model release form?
Post by: bgbs on July 15, 2013, 10:55

Is there a one model release form out there that can be used with istock, dreamstime, shutterstock, fotolia and depositphotos? I really dislike the idea of creating a model release form for every microstock I upload to.

Thank in advance

I've used a slightly modified version of the Getty release and had it accepted by all of the agencies who have seen it.  I'm told that Dreamstime has an issue with the standard Getty release due to its language about relying on the laws of the country with the nearest Getty office.  I changed that wording to refer only to US law.  I can give you a copy of my release if you're in the US or don't mind changing the wording to your home country.

That would be great. I'm in the US so that would work out perfectly for me

Thanks
