Title: Model Release Query
Post by: SLP_London on March 28, 2013, 04:05

Hi,

Is there a list anywhere of which agencies require a unique Model Release for each and every shoot with the same model versus which agencies will accept one generic release per model?

Also, does this depend on whether the Release itself is 'generic' or specific to a shoot?

And lastly, is any of this different for Minor Models?

Many thanks in advance

In my experience, iStock is the only agency that requires you to upload a new release for each shoot.  All the others I've dealt with are comfortable with having one release on file per model.  Be aware that you should have a release for each shoot to protect yourself legally, whether or not the agency requires it.

And Veer want a new one every session.

Wow...thanks for that info! I thought we need a new release for each shoot. You saved me from lots of useless work. I'm sure I'm not going to have any legal problems since I'm my only model ( hopefully I won't sue myself  ;D )
