Top Model Release

You’re a photographer. OK, even if you’re not, just say you are for now. You’re spending the day in some interesting urban setting, people watching, and snapping some great images for your portfolio. But in order to make those images commercially viable, you have to secure legal model releases from the people in the photograph. And depending on the setting, you may need to get property releases too. This means either carrying around paper forms or using a mobile release app. Two release apps that have been around for a while with generally favorable reviews are Model Release and Easy Release. And now there’s a third option with the debut of Top Model Release by Catherine Hall Studios.

Top Model Release allows you to create, customize, and store releases for models and property. You can create an unlimited number of releases in 13 languages including Spanish, French, Chinese, German, and Portuguese. The app also offers the option of adding a custom addendum to include your own specific terms and conditions. When you’re done, you can save releases in PDF with your logo, email them to all interested parties, and store them automatically with iCloud.

Version 1.01 requires iOS 5.0 or later, and is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4/4S, iPod touch (3rd & 4th generation), and iPad. A native iPad version is in the works and will be a free upgrade for users of the iPhone version.
