Step 3: Complete the Form

The model release form has the following required fields:

  • Party One Username: This is you, the creator. The field automatically displays your BentID Username.
  • Party Two Username: The person who will sign the form (e.g., your model).
  • Date of Event: The date of the photoshoot or event.
  • Style of Photoshoot: A free text field to describe the style (e.g., artistic, glamour).
  • Description of Event: Be as detailed as possible in the description of the photoshoot.
  • License Purpose: For example, commercial use, private use only, TFP, etc.
  • Commercial Scope: Explain where you plan to use the content, such as a specific website or for general web sales.
  • Compensation: The amount paid to Party Two.
  • Witness: If a witness was present, add their BentID username.

When the form is signed, it collates the information and creates a cryptographic hash. This hash can be used by any open-source service to verify the form's authenticity and validity.
