I need to write up a 'you can use these photos of me online' agreement, and I want to make sure there isn't anything that should be in it other than the obvious.
Most camera stores sell model releases by the pad and they are only a couple bucks. You are better off using one that was written by an attorney than in trying to make one up of your own.
Here is a link to Getty's model release, written by Getty's attorneys, no doubt. http://contributors.gettyimages.com...SAMPLE_Model_Release_-_English_-_Dec_2008.pdf They also have their property release online too. Just because there are people in an image, doesn't automatically mean a release is needed to be signed. Visit www.danheller.com to learn more about the ins-and-outs of model releases, or get his book A Digital Photographers Guide to Model Releases.
