Photo Release Form

A photo release form records permission to use certain images of people or other identifiable subjects for specified purposes. A landscaping company photographing a completed residential project may need to consider whether the images reveal individuals, addresses, or private property details. Permissions should describe the intended use, such as a website portfolio or social media post, and be stored with the relevant files. A release is different from an image license, which addresses rights in the photograph itself. Legal requirements vary by state and circumstances, so a generic template does not guarantee permission for every use.
