0 Avpics Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 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! 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NYCat Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 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.

0 Ed Rooney Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Contemporary Dave Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 On other stock sites I sell on, they don’t ask for releases when selling images of dogs for commercial purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited last two lines. Edited January 18, 2021 by Niels Quist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
