Title: property release for blueprints
Post by: tavi on October 17, 2012, 01:26
   Hello. I used a blueprint in one photo and was rejected for copyright. Now, I made the drawing as I work architecture, and I don't know now how to make the property release. I must print it and sign myself?
   Then, I saw that you need some witness to sign. How do they know that I really made the drawings if I sign?
   And then, I must scan the document with the signature and send along with the file?
   Thank you, I'm a newbie and the first time to do this.

You have to fill up a document like this one and submitted along with the photo.

The witness is just witnessing your signature, nothing else.

   And at the property owner and at the photographer info, I put my data, and sign in both places? And then, I scan the porinted file with the signatures and how I attached to the photo?

Put your signature in property owner and photographer spots but you still need a witness signature for it to be legal. Anyone will do as long as they're old enough to legally sign contracts.

You upload to the agency and attach to the image during the upload process just like a model release.

Yeah good advise, I was pretty well stumped when I had to have someone witness that I was signing a property release for my own composition. Like "hey wait, I'm faking my own signature on my own image?" LOL

But witness is necessary for some strange reason.

   And the names must be printed on the release, not written by hand? Can I write by hand the rest?
   And for each site I have to make another release? By the way, the picture was accepted by all sites except Shutterstock.
   Excuse so many questions but I find it strange and time consuming- maybe only the first time is like this.

Doesnt matter if you fill them out with a text writer or by hand, just as long as the signature is yours and written by hand.
