That’s great of you to share. I love your work.

Thanks Yuri. I was looking for this.
Great work btw !

Thanks Yuri
I hope the model releases ork for Fotolia and StockXpert (those I like the most)

Great information on your website – and man …….. you have a lot of pictures *ss*

Hello Yuri!
Thank you for sharing you model-releases with us! On question, in the minor release, what goes here: (on the line)……… (“Model”) hereby grant to ____________________________ and Yuri Arcurs (collectively, the….. Is it the stockcompany???
Sorry for not understand….

Thanks for Sharing Yuri!

Thanks for sharing. It will really help me.

Regards.

Yuri, thanks for releases. But, I have one question, and since you live in not English speaking country, you may know the answer.I have to give release written on domestic language to my models, since they do not speak English, and also the one on English. And to be completely safe it must be certified by notary public. do I need to certify every single release by notary public, or just one that I will carry with me and show to models. And, also, does this mean my release will contain two pages, one English written and the other on domestic language? This is not clear to me. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! This will definitely help keep things organized for people-shots across different microstock sites.

I was so happy to see the link to the generic model release on the home page! But, OUCH, I never activated the word-stuff in my Mac. What about .pdf?

Does this release work for Getty and Corbis as well?

Hej Yuri.
På modelrealese for voksne er der et felt hvor der står id with picture, skal der bare være et foto af modellen? eller skal det være et billede-id i form af kørekort eller pas???
Tak for din hjælp

Thanks for sharing. It will really help me.

Hey Yuri, thanks a bunch for the files! Makes it so much easier than trying to write my own. It’s a great thing that you are giving back to the community like this!

Thanks!

Yuri,
Thanks so much for sharing these releases. Now all I have to do is get up the nerve to start working with more models. One question I have is ‘Is the copy of the photo ID required for most/all agencies?’ I’m thinking if I’m out somewhere and get a good shot and just ask someone to sign the model release don’t really think they’d be willing to give me a copy of their driver’s license.

Allen,
you do not need models ID for referance, justi his/her picture. It can be taken during the session.

I am new in this work -microstok- Thanks so much for your help. i am brazilian and hear is very dificult information about this work. Thanks Yuri and thanks internet

Is an image on the model required for it to be valid? I don’t see a field or indication of that on Yuri’s releases…

Does one has to do a new release for every single shoot with the model, or is one release enough, and can be reused?

It’s really your hard work helps a lot of new photographers and new comers in photography business. Thanks

Very useful, thanks!

Yuri, You have a very informative website, thank you for sharing, it’s good karma! I have a question for you or anyone reading this, how do you change the picture box details from Yuir’s to mine?

Thank you!

Okay, please ignore my above post, after a couple of days scratching head I actually figured it out…right after posting my question!

Whats the “ID with picture” box at the bottom ?
If thats for the model, how does one get a models ID copied out in the field when you’re away from your scanner?

Thank you to Yuri and Greetings to all.

Could someone drop a few, what is the Property release for? Model release is understandble.

Thank you guys.

Thanks Yuri.
in 10 min i learn more about photografh then in 6 month

Yuri is a great source of inspiration for young fotografers, its amazing that he is sharing a lot of “secrets” among his community. Keep up the good job!

Hi. To today my models signed six different documents. Thank you for your universal model release. Greeting from Poland.

Yuri,

Thank you for your work. Just what I was looking for.

Thanks Yuri, this helps a lot. Thanks so much for sharing!

You’re awesome, Yuri. thank you for sharing. I am wondering, will this work for istockphoto, too? I think they only accept model releases from their own site….

I don’t quite understand the issue of the release form.
If I shot a random guy on a street I can’t sell his photo unless he signed a release form?
Do all the celebrities sign release forms to all the paparazzi?

Editorial and newsworthy print do not need releases.

Thanks for sharing these model release forms, I hope i will put them to good use soon. I’m hoping to walk away from this deployment with some awesome shots. Thanks again.

Many thanks for sharing!
Exactly I was looking for.

Unfortunately Dreamstime rejected this MR as it misses information about the law to be applied, It should be either the countries law, US or international laws.

It depends as usual from the reviewer, some images passes, some others not, by the same release

Alex

Thanks, Yuri! nice work

thanks for sharing Yuri! Love your work!!!

Thanks, this is a great help.
What sort of picture of the model do I have to inclued, can it just be one that I have taken?

If I just pop in shoot date and model DOB , will it be compatible with istock after their model release requirements changes in September?

Excellent web, work, videos. Absolutely unbelievable studio. You are doing unbelievable job and you are doing well. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing this release form! I will use it!

thank you yuri

Thanks for the model release template.

thank you Yuri for the release forms. Your information about model release forms was also extremely helpful.

Great site, very helpful.

Thank you for your help and advice

Thanks for the releases and all the other useful content on your website. With a certain Stock company cutting into their contributors earnings, I will cancel my exclusivity and these releases were just what I needed!

Thanks for model release form. I’ve found it for long time.

You you could change the webpage title What is a model release? – Download a Generic Model Release | Yuri Arcurs to something more specific for your content you write. I enjoyed the blog post however.

Thank you for all your great articles! Good job Yuri! Keep it up!

Thank you yuri this is just what i need!

Hey teenager asking a question here:

Does the “minor model release form” go along with family members? Like, my little brother is perfect for stock photography, but to what extent do you need a model release form ? or is it one of these “no exception” things?

Hello Yuri,
and thanks for sharing all this material.
I am using your model release and it’s fine with Fotolia and (sometimes!) for istockphoto.
Sometimes in fact they reject my files saying it doesn’t have all the information they require. Obviously I am complaining with them about that (one yes, one no etc) but….never happened to you? Any suggestion?

Thank you again!

Thanks for sharing these forms.

Thanks for sharing! greetings from Poland

There is a spelling mistake on the property release form in the first part – you put photograghs and it should be photographs.

Thanks for the form though!

Best

Heather
