Permission for people pictures - model release
EESC provides a form for you to use to get permission from subjects of your photos.
If there are people in your photographs, videos, podcasts and other media, and they are recognizable, it is best practice to get their permission, in writing, to use their likeness. EESC provides a model release form for this purpose.
