Release for dogs?

[flashphill]

Do I need a release to submit images of dogs?

If so, would it be a model release or a property release?

[Avpics]

They belong to somebody, so it's their property. If you can get the dog to understand what it's signing and able to sign then perhaps a model release and a form that you'll act as its agent on the next series of BGT! 😆

Yes, a property release. But you can upload unreleased images here. You just have to be honest and fill out the optional section in the Image Manager. Just that there is property in the image that needs a release and you do not have one.

As Paulette says, you don't need a release for anyone or anything as long as you say you don't have one. The images will still be able to be sold for editorial use. I do not have a single release. All my sales are editorial.

We humans domesticated dogs while cats domesticated us.

From my Sunday paper:

Short history of domestication;

Kat - 15000 yrs ago - now;

Dog - 15000 yrs ago - now.

That is not pawsible 😊

On other stock sites I sell on, they don’t ask for releases when selling images of dogs for commercial purposes.

Micro stock - but this is Alamy..

 

But if you search the forums and read Alamy's terms you will see that there is a way - if you stay editorial in one way or other.

 

But don't mix RF at other places with RM at Alamy.

You can upload the images as RM to Alamy. Whether the image is used commercially is then down to the user.  

 

RF is more complicated because usually fully released in order to be RF.
