SDI – Model Releases – 023 w/ Dennis Hays
I discuss a part of photography I’ve neglected over the past few years; the model release. This is a subject that is sometimes (maybe often?) neglected and overlooked by photographers. I talk about why you need to have a signed model release, what it’s meant to do and how it can protect you from costly legal ramifications.
Listen and learn how the model release is constructed and what the various paragraphs mean (in a representative sample of a model release) and how they protect the photographer and lay aside all claims.
