10. Photo Releases

Unless otherwise indicated, assets in this library do not have photo releases from the individuals depicted therein. It is therefore important to be mindful of the appropriate use of images, and to avoid uses that cast subjects in a negative light, that associate individuals with sensitive topics without their knowledge, that single out individuals from within a large group to make them identifiable, or that invade the privacy of subjects. Particular care should be taken with any image depicting young children. When in doubt, consult with legal counsel. For questions concerning the use of assets from the library, contact the Office of Public Affairs & Communications at brand@ucsb.edu.
