1. Use of Images
By signing this, you’re giving me (John Harder) permission to use the photos we create together — including your name, image, and likeness — in a coffee table photo book and any related promotion (online, in print, social, etc.). That permission is permanent and can’t be taken back, since once a book is printed, it can’t be undone. I may also use the images in other creative projects in the future — always in a respectful, artistic way.
2. Creative Direction & Final Say
The final look and content of the book will be entirely up to me and the creative team. That means:
You won’t be able to choose which images are used.
Once decisions are made and the book goes to print, they can’t be changed.
You’re trusting me to make the best editorial choices for the project, and I deeply respect that trust.
3. Mature Content & Nudity
This project may include artistic nudity or sensual imagery — not just yours, but from other featured models as well. By signing this, you’re agreeing that:
You’re aware the book might include nudity (even if you're fully clothed).
If we do discuss or include nudity in your shoot, it will always be optional and clearly communicated.
You're okay appearing in a book where other models may be nude or partially nude.
The goal is always to create something powerful and tasteful — never exploitative.
4. No Liability & No Future Claims
You agree not to sue or bring any claims against me or my team now or in the future about how your image is used in connection with this project. That includes:
Being next to nudity
How you're portrayed
How the images are edited, published, or shared
Once this agreement is signed, everything is considered final and settled. You’re also agreeing not to try and stop the book’s release or request changes later on.
5. No Payment Expected
This is a creative collaboration, so unless we've worked out something different in writing, there’s no money changing hands. In exchange for your time, you’ll received limited edited images of the photographer's choice for your portfolio or personal use.
6. Your Legal Confirmation
By signing this, you confirm:
You’re at least 21 years old and legally able to enter this agreement.
You’ve read and understand what this release says.
You agree to cover any legal costs if someone else tries to bring a claim on your behalf that’s not valid.
