Photo Release Agreement

"I need a Photo Release Agreement for a fashion photography shoot happening in March 2025 in Lagos, where the photos will be used for both print advertising and social media campaigns across West Africa, with specific provisions for image editing rights and model compensation."

Document background
The Photo Release Agreement is a crucial legal instrument in Nigeria's photography and media landscape, designed to protect the interests of both photographers and their subjects. This document becomes necessary whenever photographs are taken for professional, commercial, or public use, establishing clear parameters for usage rights, compensation, and privacy considerations. It ensures compliance with Nigerian legislation, including the Copyright Act, Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), and constitutional privacy rights. The agreement is particularly important in commercial photography, advertising, and media production, where images may be used across multiple platforms and territories. It helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting the terms of use and any restrictions on the photographs.
