About this template

A photo release form gives you written permission to use a person's photograph, video, or likeness — essential for photographers, schools, nonprofits, and businesses publishing images of real people. This free template states how the images will be used, captures explicit permission and a signature online, and includes a parent/guardian line for subjects who are minors.

Tips for better responses

Describe the intended uses specifically — website, social, ads — so permission is unambiguous.
Add a parent or guardian signature line whenever the subject is a minor.
Note whether the use is compensated so expectations are clear on both sides.
Keep each signed release on file with the shoot date for easy reference later.
