ASK AARON - November 2003 Answer

From Sherry, AZ

I am a 17 year old model and I was asked to do 2 jobs. One TFP and one paid. Will I need a model release form? If so, where can I get one?

Dear Sherry:

Your TFP (Trade for Print) can be a very helpful way to get photos taken free. Keep in mind that a model release form is so important that I have a copy of one in my book. When you read the book, you will also learn how to properly fill out the form and make the necessary changes in order to protect yourself.

It is the photographer’s responsibility to give you the model release form. Without you signing this document, there could be some legal issues with your image being used.
