Personal Release Agreements
This section provides and discusses personal release agreements that permit the use of a person’s name and image. Personal releases are often referred to as “model releases,” although the term “model” can be used for anyone, not just professional models. There are two classes of personal releases: blanket releases and limited releases.

A blanket release permits any use of the photographic image of the person signing the release and is suitable if the company or photo­grapher needs an unlimited right to use the image. Stock photographers who sell their photos for unlimited purposes commonly use blanket releases.
Celebrities and professional models usually sign limited releases that specify the particular ways their image and name may be used. If a use exceeds what’s permitted under the limited release, the person can sue for breach of the agreement. For example, a model that signed a release limiting use of her image for a museum brochure sued when the photo appeared on a Miami transit card.
