iStockphoto Accept Now Digital Releases

iStockphoto announces that it is going to accept model and property releases generated electronically by approved applications. This means you will be able to capture the necessary release information on an iPhone or Android app and shoot it directly to us with your upload. All digital, no paper.

There are several different digital release applications out there. iStockphoto will accept Easy Release and VM Release. iStockphoto strongly advise that their contributors use Easy Release. This app is available on iPhone/iPad and Android and works in all of their supported language. It contains all the information they require so you don't need to add anything.

iStockphoto still require the same information about the model, as well as signatures and a witness. The difference is that you can now capture this information on a digital application.

iStockphoto will start accepting releases from these applications within the next few weeks. In the meantime they encourage you to check them out and familiarize yourself with the apps.

iStockphoto has prepared a FAQ page on digital releases including reference images which you can view here.
