Q: What forms would be necessary in obtaining written permission from owner to legally enter onto their private property?
Interested in non-commercial photography for fun/experience on some private properties in the area, not interested in getting fined or arrested just for taking some photos of overgrown plants and old houses.
What kind of documentation would be necessary in obtaining permission from a real property's owner to enter their property for the purposes of photography without intent to sell the photographs? Would an email or letter granting permission suffice? Or is a contract necessary?
The most hazardous things I would anticipate are snakes and rotting wood, but property owners would probably feel more comfortable being released from liability in case of injury. If the question of liability comes up, is my written agreement to not hold them liable sufficient? Or would this also require a contract? If so, what kind of contracts would be necessary for this?
Is there any part of this which would be legally difficult or impossible (if that makes sense)??
A:
Simply put. Your situation is more complicated than this free Legal advise site. You need to consult with an attorney in your area to develope agreements that you can use on a repeated basis to do the photography projects.
Good luck.
