Photo and Video Release Forms 

Release forms are important because they prove you have a subject’s permission to use their name and likeness in photos and/or video. They protect the university from legal action when we use, and reuse, images and videos for marketing purposes. 

Any subject who is recognizable in the photo or video should sign the release. The exception is public events where no single person in a crowd is prominently featured. 

If the subject in the photo or video is under 18 years old, a legal guardian must sign the release. 

It is the responsibility of the department taking the photos/videos to maintain their release forms. You should keep signed forms on file. If you leave the university, forms should be handed over to your supervisor.

If you are interested in securing a photographer or videographer for your College of Science event, please contact Ali Miller, the College of Science Marketing and Communications manager, by email at amiller@weber.edu.

 

*College of Science faculty and staff are asked to submit photo/video release forms to Ali by email. You may also contact her with any college marketing inquiries.
