A photo release form — sometimes called a media release or consent form — is an agreement between a photographer and an individual (most often, the subject of the photo), which gives the photographer the right to commercialize the picture.

There are no laws prohibiting the collection of any plant species in the State of Maine. Plants in Maine are the private property of the landowner, so private property rights should be respected. In the interest of perpetuating Maine's natural heritage, we strongly advise against the collection of any rare plants.

The Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA) became effective on August 4, 1988. The Act applies to the following protected natural resources: coastal wetlands and sand dunes; freshwater wetlands; great ponds; rivers, streams and brooks; fragile mountain areas, and significant wildlife habitat.

Although the photographer does own the copyright for the photographs, they cannot use the photographs publicly without your permission if the photographs have been commissioned for private or domestic purposes (such as a family photo shoot or a wedding.)

If your use is for commercial purposes—for example, using a person's photo in an advertisement—you need to obtain a release.

All civil actions shall be commenced within 6 years after the cause of action accrues and not afterwards, except actions on a judgment or decree of any court of record of the United States, or of any state, or of a justice of the peace in this State, and except as otherwise specially provided.

It is generally accepted to snap a photo of a person in a public place without a release form. However, if you use that photo for specific commercial purposes, like promoting a product, it's better to be safe and get the release form.

Instead of a square (shape), you see a cube (form). This depth in form is created by light and shadows in a photo. It makes the objects look like they're not just flat shapes but real and solid things you could touch or hold in your hand. So in simple terms, shape is 2D, and form makes it look 3D in your photos.

Subject, form, and content comprise the three basic components of a photograph. In general, subject may be thought of as the “what” in a photograph: the topic, focus, or image. The most common subjects of photography include people, arrangements of objects, the natural world, and abstractions.
