camcorders, or type of camcorder.
I understand that I may be

private, either clothed, semi-clothed, semi-nude, or nude, and at such times,
I may or may not be engaged in a sexual act. I hereby state that if I choose
to engage in an sexual act while performing as a paid model, it will be for my
personal enjoyment and I have no objections to these sexual acts being
photographed or videographed. I agree that if I chose to engage in a sexual
act while performing as a paid model, it will only be a sexual act with a
person, or persons, of my choosing and I agree to only perform such acts that
I enjoy. I understand that I am not being paid to perform any sexual act upon
any person or persons, I fully understand that the purposes of these
photographs or videographs are of a sexually oriented nature, and may well be
sold to others who also consider the said photographs or videographs, to be of
a sexually oriented nature, and/or, appeal to a prurient interest. I consider
myself to be a paid model, and having photographs or videographs taken of me,
in either a clothed or nude state, or while engaging in any sexual act, does
not trouble or distress me, and I have no interest whatsoever in how my
likeness, either clothed or nude, is shown, displayed, sold or given to
others. I also understand that my voice may be recorded by the camcorder, or
by other means, and I have no interest whatsoever in how the recording of my
voice may be used, broadcast, sold or given to others, or included on a video
recording that may be shown displayed, sold or given to others.
I

assigns the absolute right and permission to publish, copyright, distribute,
sell or give away, the use of my likeness, and/or voice, in either photographs

I
hereby waive any right that I may have to inspect and/or approve the finished

that I decline to continue a modeling session or decline to do future modeling
sessions, any and all photographs or videographs made prior to my
discontinuance, and the act of my discontinuance, shall be binding to the
above release. I fully understand that I am not required to model in any

objectionable. I state that I will refuse to model in any manner I find
objectionable, and refuse to perform any acts. of any type that I find
objectionable. My continuance to model, and./or perform any acts of any type,
indicate my total acceptance of the modeling assignment, my total acceptance
of this release agreement, and my total, and complete lack of any objection,
to any acts, or type of acts, that I might tend to engage in while performing
this modeling assignment.
This release shall be binding upon and
insure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, assigns, executors,
administrators, personal representatives and heirs. This release constitutes
the full agreement and cannot be altered or modified unless in writing.
