Model Releases
Broadly speaking model releases are required from people who are readily identifiable and make up a significant component in an image or work that appears in the public domain and may be used for commercial gain. However, a model release does not negate general laws protecting individuals’ rights.
Property Releases
Property release permission is required when a privately owned property or building or
trademark is readily identifiable, makes up a significant component in an image or work that
appears in the public domain and may be used for commercial gain.
