Who can view a model release?

[bixby]

Hello everyone!

I am a new contributor and am filling out my first model release. I am uploading a silhoutte of a friend who would prefer to remain anonymous.

Is it required to upload a portrait of the model for the release? I'm not uploading the portrait itself to sell.

Who can see releases? Just myself, the model and Adobe? Is it public? Again, I want to protect the model here.

Thank you!

Model releases are a "liability waiver."  Essentially, the model is giving the photographer & publisher (in this case Adobe Stock) his/her legal consent to use that image.   Model releases are typically stored in a secure place and not available to the public. 

A copy of the model's photo ID is required.  See help article below for details.
