When should you use a photo release? If you are going to use a photo of a person in which the face is clearly recognizable, the University's Attorneys' Office advises that you get a photo release signed by the individual, or by the guardian if the person is under 18 years of age. If possible, try to indicate how the photo will be used, i.e., in a department newsletter, in a college publication, on a web site, or word the release to indicate various ways the photo could be used. It is especially important to get a written photo release if you plan to use photos of UA students, minors, or non-employees, but it is a good practice even for photos of University employees. It is the responsibility of the department or county which takes the photo or uses the photo in print or on the web to keep the photo release documentation. It is not stored in a central College or campus location.
