Consent / Waiver Language

This waiver text is included at the bottom of the form, above the signature field.

I grant permission for my image, likeness, voice, and performance to be captured in photographs, video, and other media formats and used for the purposes described above. I understand that content may be edited, reproduced, and distributed in print, digital, and broadcast formats. I waive any right to compensation, inspection, or approval of final content. I release the photographer/videographer/organization from any claims arising from the authorized use of my likeness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — a combined form is actually more practical for most situations, especially events where both photos and video are being captured. Just make sure the language covers still photography, video, and audio recording. This form does all three.

For large public events, individual releases from every attendee aren't practical. Most organizers include photo consent in the ticket terms or registration agreement, plus a visible sign at the venue. For smaller private events, individual releases are better practice.

You still need a release from anyone else appearing in the photos or video. If you're photographing yourself for your own content, you don't need a release from yourself. But if a friend takes the photo and you want to use it, technically the friend owns the copyright and you'd need their permission to use it commercially.
