Their is four stages in uploading my photo,the last stage is were it is saying I cant go to next step until I upload the model release form,the images were choosen by Getty and are on my account page.,,i know it seems strange to ask for a release form for a bird but as I am new to this I just took it as the norm,its just not letting me go to the next step of uploading the image due to it saying I need the model release form attatched.Why do I need a model or property release?
A release is a legal agreement between you and a model or property owner. It gives you permission to use a model's likeness or the image of an owner's property (for example, a private home, a place of business, a copyrighted work of art, or in some cases, an animal) for commercial purposes. Right-to-privacy, right-to-publicity (in the case of celebrities), trademark, and copyright laws require that you have releases if the images are to be used for commercial purposes...................I would like to add that I have successfully uploaded 4 photos that don't need a model release form , but the kingfisher shot does need one, not sure how I am going to go about it as it asks for model name address and age ,bit of a difficult one
