I have pictures taken of my son when he was 16-17 years old. However, he just turned 18. Wondering if we should use minor or adult release form?
-
I am not 100% sure, but an adult MR worked for me.
I did a shoot with a teenage model a few years ago. I shot with her again a few months ago. She is now an adult. I asked to sign a MR for the last shoot. It was an adult MR, and all nine agencies I submit to accepted it.
-
There is a line asking for the "Date of signing the release".
You need to see if the model was a major or minor on that date and do this accordingly.
-
The release deals with his age now, at time of signing, not at time of shoot. Use an adult release and list date of shoot accordingly.

I would err on the side of caution with this one. at time of shooting that model could not have approved those images, it's an interesting question: do they now have adult control over their past images? will my own children, upon turning 18, demand all <18yo images of them at various sites be removed? if they can sign for their junior self then surely they can also question the signed release?
I would say they can't sign for their <18 self. but if you got away with it, and you think there's no drama in the future, then go for it.

Nope. Just like a model can't come back and change their mind, neither could your kid. It is the persons likeness they are signing for and either a parent signs if the person is a minor at time of signing, or the model. It has nothing to do with time of shoot.
