↗ · What it's for
A photo release records someone's consent to use their image in your marketing, portfolio, or media. Capturing it as a signed form means you have proof of consent with a timestamp, which matters if usage is ever questioned. Signers complete it on a phone in seconds, on set or at the door.
Worth knowing · A release template is a starting point, not legal advice. Image-rights law varies, especially for minors, so confirm your language fits your use and jurisdiction.
When to use it
- Photographers and videographers capturing model releases on set
- Event organizers getting consent to use attendee photos and video
- Agencies and studios collecting usage rights for client content
- Schools and nonprofits documenting consent for promotional images

↗ · Questions
The template, answered.
Is a signed photo release valid if signed on a phone?
Yes. The signature meets ESIGN, UETA, eIDAS, and PIPEDA, and the record includes the signer's IP, timestamp, and a tamper-evident hash, which is exactly the proof of consent you'd want on file.
Can I collect releases from a whole event quickly?
Yes. Share a QR code or link and let people sign on their own phones. Every release lands in your dashboard with its audit trail.
Can I specify what the photos can be used for?
Yes. Add checkboxes for permitted uses (web, print, social, advertising) so the consent is specific and on the record.
