Years ago, a film crew stopped me as I was riding my unicycle (yeah, I know). They filmed me riding down the street and gave me a release and envelope which I quickly had signed and returned. A month or two later, a short clip of me riding was shown during the opening credits of the local news every day for over a year.

Think of the residuals you passed up ... The SASE is a great idea, and one more thing to make people think you're legit and not a weirdo.


The ones I have are actually printed on ticket type, I tear off a strip with my name and information. Again like handing out a business card, but I really like the SASE too never thought of that

carol..there are a few legal problems with your release, wording-wise. You may consider changing it to what has been suggested in this thread, or if you really like it, I can help you fix the most glaring issues. :)

Hi, I took the wording from an on-line example, but please all help is help :-)

(meant this to post to another thread...)
If you really want to get the low-down on your rights as a photographer, you might want to check out 'Legal Handbook for Photographers' by Bert P Krages, Esq from Amherst Media. It covers EVERYTHING from privacy and tresspassing to wildlife endangerment and national security.

Check it out at //www.krages.com/lhp.htm.

I'm not kidding. The stuff this guy arms you with can really give you a lot more confidence about the consequences when you pop the shutter...

It doesn't mention it, and by the omission, I assume it is only relevant to US law ?

I use:

It's pretty short but the wording is somewhat harsh; I'd rather be safe than sorry though. I've had some people turn it down, but I always manage to find willing participants (a little cash offer never hurts).
