Ditch the paper forms. Get releases signed on-set, stored automatically, searchable forever.
Stop Losing Releases. Start Getting Paid Faster.
Paper forms get lost. Email chains get buried. imageRelease keeps every signed release organised, searchable, and ready when clients come asking.
The Release Chaos Every Photographer Knows
You've shot the job. The images are delivered. Three months later, the client wants to use a shot for a campaign you didn't anticipate — and now they need proof of consent.
Cue the frantic search through folders, emails, and that box of crumpled forms in the studio corner.
Sound familiar?
- Paper releases get lost, damaged, or misfiled
- Matching releases to specific shoots takes hours
- Clients ask for proof and you can't find it
- Minors on set require extra documentation you can never locate
- International shoots mean different requirements you're probably not meeting

Common Questions from Photographers
Are the release templates legally sound?
Yes. Our templates were drafted by an I.P. lawyer and meet all UK GDPR standards. You get professional, legally robust documentation without needing to consult your own solicitor.
How do models sign on-set?
You generate a QR code that models scan with their own phone. They sign on their device, so they already have access to their release — no chasing, no "can you send me a copy" requests.
What if I lose my phone mid-shoot?
Everything is cloud-based. Models sign on their own devices via QR code, and all data syncs automatically. Your releases are safe regardless of what happens to your equipment.
Can models access what they signed?
Yes — they sign on their own device via QR code, so they have immediate access. No waiting for follow-up emails or chasing paperwork.
What if a model is under 18?
Minor releases require a parent or guardian co-signature. The workflow guides you through it automatically
How Photographers Use imageRelease
Fashion & Editorial
The scenario: You're shooting lookbook images with six models across two days. Each has different agency requirements and usage restrictions.
The solution: Create releases with specific usage terms per model. Tag by collection and season. When the brand wants to extend usage, pull up exactly what was agreed.
Commercial & Advertising
The scenario: A client wants to use your shot from 18 months ago in a national campaign. They need proof of model consent — yesterday.
The solution: Search by shoot date, client, or model name. Export the signed release as a verified PDF in seconds.
Events & Conferences
The scenario: You're covering a corporate event. The client wants to use crowd shots for marketing but needs proof of consent.
The solution: Set up a QR code station. Attendees scan and sign a release on their own phones. You capture who consented and when, linked to the event.
