Employee's Picture

ritaanz

We are currently involved in re-doing some of our promotional material. We have a professional photograher going through the building taking pictures of our products and our employees as they are building them. We need to obtain a release from these employees so that we can use the pictures in our cataloges and on our web site.
Does anyone out there have an idea of the wording I need?

One of my former employers actually had a blanket release as part of the new-hire packet. We were a manufacturer, and used our own employees as models in all the catalogs and product literature.
