What is a model release?
A model release is a legal document where the subject of a photograph grants permission to publish a photograph in a certain way.
When would a model release be required?
Only the publisher requires the release not the photographer. A photograph used for an advertisement, promotion or statement where a person is portrayed as an advocate of a product, service or idea, may be an example of where a release would be required. If you are in any doubt as to whether you require a model release please contact a lawyer.
Does Backpacker Love need a model release?
As a general rule “Art” in any form can be printed without a release, regardless of the medium in which it is printed. Posting an image or making one available for sale (even via a website) does not require a release.
How many photos can I contribute?
Pick your one or two favourite photos and submit those. If you can’t decide make it three or four.
What happens to the photo after I submit it?
Photos won’t show up on the website immediately. Backpacker Love staff will screen the shots and add them where appropriate.
