Release Bundle
Navigating the legal intricacies of your photography business can feel overwhelming at times. From navigating the usage of your images in marketing materials to understanding the parameters of portfolio usage, it's essential to know where and how your images can be utilized.
That's why we offer the affordable Release Bundle, tailored specifically for professionals like you. Our team, comprised of both legal experts and seasoned photographers at TheLawTog®, meticulously develops, reviews, and approves every release, ensuring comprehensive legal coverage while reflecting the nuances of the photography industry.
Included in this bundle:
- Model Release: If you intend to use your images for advertising or portfolio purposes, a model release form is indispensable for protecting your photography business. Typically signed by the subjects of your photographs, a model release grants you permission to license or utilize the image in various contexts. Our model release forms streamline the process, enabling clients to provide legal consent for the use of their photographic images (excluding audio or video). It's important to note that the model releases in this bundle are not niche-specific, offering versatility across different photography genres.
- General Release: covers both adults and minors, providing comprehensive legal coverage.
- Limited Release: offers clients the option to restrict the usage of their images by the photographer.
- Print Release: Navigating the complexities of protecting your images, from printing rights to social media usage, can indeed be daunting. Many clients prefer digital files for sharing on social media and personal printing. Offering digital files can be a lucrative revenue stream for photographers, but it's essential to establish legal parameters. A print release form serves as an agreement between you and your client, granting them permission to print and share images for personal use only. It explicitly prohibits commercial usage or other unauthorized purposes, reinforcing copyright laws and protecting your artistic work.
In addition to providing legal protection, these forms position you as a credible and professional business owner, earning respect from clients for your clear rules and expectations.

- Why choose TheLawTog?
Headed by Rachel Brenke, TheLawTog is the only dedicated resource for photographers. With practicing lawyers, business consultants, CPA, financial planners (and more!) you’ll get information with first-hand experience to help your photography business.
- Can I edit the contracts?
Yes! They come as .doc files so you can fill-in-the-blank, remove or add what you need. We provide options and headings to easily allow for editing.
- Can I use these contracts if not in the US?
TheLawTog®’s contract forms are drafted on general American law-based contract principles and are applicable to many states. Due to variations in law based on location and business policies, the contracts are editable and easily adaptable. If you are a photographer outside the US, the policies may be implemented for your business, but U.S. Federal Copyright laws and other legal theories may not apply. For example, in the United States, unless otherwise contracted, the photographer retains copyright ownership of images. However, in other countries, the law may give the copyright ownership to the client and necessitate a provision for transfer.
