Three attorney-drafted options for when clients request image confidentiality

As a photographer, showcasing your work is part of your brand. But sometimes, clients prefer their images stay completely private, and it’s your job to respect that.

Whether it’s a high-profile client, a sensitive session, or simply a personal preference, requests for privacy happen more often than you'd think. That’s why having a clear, professional clause in place is essential.

The Privacy of Images Clause was created to help you protect both your business and your clients' rights, without leaving anything up to interpretation. It replaces your standard model release clause when clients decline permission to share images—and gives you multiple ways to handle different privacy levels.

What's Included In The Privacy Of Images Clause For Photographers Template 

This clause includes three customizable options to choose from, based on how private your client wants their session to be:

- Option 1: Full Privacy – Client requests that no images be shared publicly or used in any marketing, website, portfolio, or social media.

- Option 2: Selective Privacy – Client permits use of certain images only, with specific restrictions outlined (e.g., no faces, no tags, only detail shots).

- Option 3: Delayed Use – Client agrees to allow marketing use of images after a specific date or event (such as after an engagement announcement, post-wedding, or product launch).

Each option is drafted to ensure you’re legally protected, while honoring your client’s wishes around their likeness and publicity rights.

A must-have clause for all photographers!

I love having this clause available to use instead of my standard model release clause for when my clients would like extra privacy of their images. With the three different privacy level options, it's perfect for literally any scenario, and my clients really appreciate that I'm able to change the wording in my contract based on their preferences. Highly recommend this clause to all photographers!!!
