4. Property & Model Releases
Model Releases
Broadly speaking model releases are required from people who are readily identifiable and make up a significant component in an image or work that appears in the public domain and may be used for commercial gain. However, a model release does not negate general laws protecting individuals’ rights.
We suggest, for your own protection, you link to the following site for more detail and to download forms. These forms may be used by all photographers, including AIPA non-members.
Please do not alter the wording as they have been carefully
written by Clendons in consultation with the AIPA / NZIPP and the industry at large.
