I know a lot of you have various forms and contracts that you use. I was wondering if anyone could spare one or two? I have not had time to sit and create anything and now that my lad is more than happy to help I need to get some forms to him ASAP.

If anyone has something similar I can also alter to my needs. Smile

I need a photo release form for the subject(s) as well as for a photographer. I will also need a contract for work for a photographer. I do not have Office 2007 so I cannot use any .xdoc files.

Any help is appreciated. Smile

Thanks Conga. I did see that. I was hoping to have some already created forms with copyright and release jargon that my brain cannot pull out at the moment. I will see what I can throw together on there, though. Smile

And of course 'Models" have to fill out Employment applications.

And this one that I don't have a link to:
