Hi, this is a model release form. It basically states that you allow me to take photos of you and can use them on my website, social media, etc. In most cases you’ll also get copies of the photos and you also have the right to post them on social media or use them for personal projects. That’s the main thing :)

In consideration of my engagement as a model, and for other good and valuable consideration herein acknowledged as received, I hereby grant the following rights and permissions to Josef Samuel d.b.a. Josef Samuel Photography (“Photographer”), his heirs, legal representatives, and assigns, those for whom Photographer is acting, and those acting with his authority and permission.

They have the irrevocable, perpetual and unrestricted right and permission to take, use, re-use, publish, and republish photographic portraits or pictures of me or in which I may be included, in whole or in part, or composite, without restriction as to changes or alterations, in conjunction with my own or a fictitious name, or reproductions thereof in color or otherwise, made through any medium at his studio or elsewhere, and in any and all media now or hereafter known, specifically including but not limited to print media and distribution over the internet for illustration, promotion, art, editorial advertising, trade or any other similar purpose.

I specifically consent to the digital compositing including without restriction any changes or alterations as to color, size, shape, perspective, context, foreground or background. I also consent to the use of any published matter in conjunction with such photographs. I hereby waive any right that I may have to inspect or approve the finished product or products and the advertising copy or other matter that may be used in connection with them or the use to which they may be applied.

I hereby release, discharge, and agree to hold harmless Photographer, his legal representatives, and assigns, and all persons acting under his permission or authority or those for whom he is acting, from any liability by virtue of any blurring, distortion, alteration, optical illusion, or use in composite form, whether intentional or otherwise, that may occur or be produced in the taking of such photographs or in any subsequent processing of them, as well as any publication of them, including without limitation any claims for libel or violation of any right of publicity or privacy.
