Brendan Knell 		  Here are some that I found. They're in English, so you will have to translate them into French. But I reccomend consulting a lawyer, just to make sure that the one that you choose covers everything that you need it to. Some of these you will need to substitute your name for theirs.

http://giltphoto.com/model_release.htm

If none of those work, then just go to yahoo.com or any other search engine and search "Photography Model Realeses".
Hope this helps.

Diane Dupuis 		  Hey Bruce! I live in Montreal! What town are you from?
Although so far all my clients have been English, I think having a French one would not be a bad idea... This is the basic wording that I use. I haven't consulted a lawyer but I think it does cover most of the bases... Let me know if you find out otherwise...

I hereby relinquish any right to examine or approve the completed product or products or the printed matter that may be used in conjunction therewith, or the use to which it may be applied.
I hereby affirm that I am of full age and have the right to contract in my own name, that I have read the above release and agreement prior to its execution and I fully understand it.

Beware though - the copyright rules for photos and photographers are different in Canada from the US...
Keep in touch!

Brendan Knell 		  Justin,
Did you not read Diane's post? It says: If model is under 18: I, _______________________________________, am the parent/legal guardian of the individual named above, I have read this release and approve its terms. So any of these would work.

Justin G. 		  Whoa whoa whoa my bad for not catching that, I must've skimmed over it getting so excited about reading a whole page of lawyer talk! Excuse me for not being so gung ho. My mistake I'll be sure to read every post in its entirety 3 times before I ask such a question that would offend a man of your stature and intellectual capabilities. Good day to you Brendan.

V/r

Justin

P.S. For the BP users who normally read my stuff and help my questions, not my sarcasm here once again, for I'm not really mad! JDG
