Author Topic: Rejection of photos with old model release. What is the solution? (Read 5004 times)

I have set of photos of a model with signed model release in 2019. What should i do when i upload a new photo from this session? Should i get this new release signed with the new date (2023) or old date (2019)? There is a big confusion in the dates.

Do a new fake model release.

I can get the new releases signed again, but what will be the signature date? I took photos in 2019. Signature for Date of Shoot, Witness and parent must be 2019 or 2023? I think only date of shoot must be 2019.

Why isn't the original model release valid? Model releases don't expire.

This.

There’s no need at all for a new release.

They expire according to SS. Weird isn't it? They made few minor changes in the document and they are not accepting old releases anymore.

Agencies can do whatever they want, but legally, a release never expires. Good Luck

In theory yes but im now finding the same rejections from previously valid releases.

I've got a backlog of things to upload with releases 2020 and before. All of which now getting rejected.

Ive also successfully used open ended/date range releases from the same person for multiple shoots (work colleagues) which were always fine but now also getting rejected. Seems they want 1 release per person per date which would mean asking 6 people to sign a new release on a near daily basis (which isnt practical).

They tweaked the wording and policy and as a result means i now cant upload any (legitimately) released content.
