Another model release question

I plan to do some photo shoots in using my niece in Central America as the subject. I know I will need a model release to sell these as "royalty free" images on the micro-stock agencies. If I do an all-day shoot and end up with a hundred photos for submission, will I be able to use one release for the entire shoot, or do I need a separate release for EACH photo submitted? I certainly hope not, as that would involve signing dozens of forms! :shock:

I've only ever used one model release for the whole session. I just make sure it have the date and location for the shoot. I've never had an issue with a stock agency not accepting it. Just had to upload it for each photo.

Thank you so much for the reply! That was what I was hoping to hear. :D Model releases are new to me, and each agency seems to have their own version. I'm hoping also that language is not a problem because of necessity they will be in Spanish.

Thanks again! :thumbup:

The rule is that you have one model release per model for each seperate session. I don't think the language is an issue. Most of the stock photo sites are multi-national in nature.
