Does your institution post signs - either in the galleries or during special events, including outdoor events - that states something to the effect that:
"By entering this facility, you are consenting to have your photograph taken for public relations and educational uses…"
We use a standard agency likeness release form that we ask individuals to sign when working on photography projects involving the public and non-staff but are interested in pursuing options for public relations photography at large special events with hundreds of visitors where the use of individual signed release forms isn't practical.
If your institution posts such signage, I would appreciate it if you would be willing to share your wording with me, where such signs are posted, and when. Thank you!
