I have been selling microstock for a few months now and have a question for the experts. I have been having my models, (wife, son, daughters and grandkids) sign a new model release for each separate day I use their pictures. I notice that on some sites I only have to upload one model release for each person and can use it over and over, simply by clicking on their MR photo.

Am I doing this completely wrong. Should I only have one release on file at each site for each model?

Thanks Bob

I've been using the same releases for my family members for over 3 years now.

yep, if there is no specific day of shooting mentioned in your release then it can be reused.  If it doesn't mention a specific agency etc it can be used for them all.  so one release per person, uploaded to each site

Thank you guys for your help. This will make my life much easier from this point on. My family is getting tired of filling out paper work every time I take a photograph of them.

Thanks again, Bob

Newbie Question .. do you need different releases for different sites or is it normal to do one with a  blank header for all Stock Sites .. whats the norm

Thanx Paul

I use IS's release and customized it for my business, so I can submit it to all of the agencies.

Somebody gave a template that is very close to IS model release but works with most of agencies. It contains shooting date so at first I was uploading it every time I photographed a person. Then I realized that it's to much hassle and left date empty. I have been using same releases for my family for 2 months now :-)

Thank you very much for replying Karimala and melastmohican I wil do the same download IS template and customize ... thank you for your help

if you do a search in the forum, you will find a couple of members have already made generic releases available.
