Photography Studio Client Media Release Form

Running a photography studio means capturing stunning images—but using those images for marketing requires proper consent. This Photography Studio Client Media Release Form gives you a clear, professional way to obtain rights from clients to showcase their photos across your social media, website, portfolio and print advertising.

Whether you're a portrait photographer, wedding photographer, or commercial studio, this template helps you:

• Protect your business legally by documenting explicit consent for media usage
• Build your portfolio and social presence with confidence, knowing you have permission
• Set clear expectations with clients about how and where their images may appear
• Streamline your workflow by capturing consent digitally at booking or session time

The form covers all the essential elements of a media release: client details, specific usage rights (social media, website, print, advertising), duration of consent, and signature capture. It's designed to be straightforward for clients while giving you comprehensive protection.

Perfect for photographers and creative professionals including portrait studios, wedding photographers, family photographers, headshot specialists, event photographers, and commercial studios who want to showcase their best work.

This template works beautifully as a standalone form sent after a session, or embed it directly into your booking flow. You can even use Papersign to turn submissions into formal signed agreements with a complete audit trail—ideal when you need extra formality for commercial usage rights.

Once a client submits their consent, you can use Stepper to automatically update your CRM, add the client to a "portfolio approved" list, or trigger a thank-you email with details about where they might see their photos featured. Keep your studio organized and your marketing legally sound, all from one simple form.
