How to Get a Photographic Model Release

Video Transcript

"My name is Anthony Maddaloni and I'm going to talk about using a model release.

It's a very important legal document. Now it's not really, it is legal, but you don't need a lawyer or anyone around. You just need someone to sign the release and a witness sometimes.
