For those times when you need to have something quick and easy that you can carry with you readily and that is likely to be signed with minimal resistance, here is the Pocket Release. This document does not provide nearly the level of assurance that the more intricate releases do, but it should provide at least a reasonable level of protection.
We do not recommend this release if the photos may be used in certain sensitive areas (see 21st Century Worries).
The language below will provide a concrete illustration of the principles explained in this module. Sections in color are place-holder text that you are supposed to replace.
If you are a member of ASMP, please log in to enable the customization features.
For valuable consideration received, I grant to Joe Photographer ("Photographer") and his/her legal representatives and assigns, the irrevocable and unrestricted right to use and publish photographs of me, or in which I may be included, for editorial, trade, advertising, and any other purpose and in any manner and medium; and to alter and composite the same without restriction and without my inspection or approval. I hereby release Photographer and his/her legal representatives and assigns from all claims and liability relating to said photographs.
