Property Releases
If your media contains recognizable private property you must obtain a property release. A property release is written permission from the property owner, consenting to the images of the property being used for commercial purposes.
A release must be obtained when photographing clearly recognizable public or private places, buildings, venues, or other property such as paintings, automobiles or artwork. A property release protects you from legal claims by the owner of the property. Typically, Editorial photos, don't require property releases.
