Model release for class marketing question

jziegler

My wife is starting a business teaching young child group music classes, and I will be going to a demo class to take photos this week. She wants the photos to be used for her marketing materials and website (mostly the web site) only. Could anyone point me to a resource for a release for something like this? I've looked in the resources posted here, and the releases that are linked are much more general in nature. I'm not looking to be able to sell these photos to anyone else, use them for stock, or anything like that. I just want to have legal permission to be able to use them for her marketing. Any pointers?

Thanks,
James

you may not be "selling" the photos to your wife but you are essentially performing the same act. you need a standard model release.

among my listngs in the Photographer's Resources sticky thread is a link to Bruce Heller's site where I think you'll find a suitable version. There is no such thing as a perfect release for every circumstance which is why standard issue is your best universal approach; or you can edit any particular release to suit your specific needs. In doing so I hope you're comfortable with nuance in legal language.

Good luck

Thanks Angelo,

I used one of the suggested releases. Hopefully the parents will all be willing to sign it.

The Dan Heller site didn't have a children's release, but the ASMP did.
