Recognizable Model
A recognizable model is an individual whose unique facial characteristics or distinct attributes are prominently visible in a photo, making them easily identifiable. In e-commerce and product imagery this visibility helps convey brand emotion, lifestyle, or identity, and because the model's likeness is used additional licensing or a model release is typically required.
This identification is especially important in fashion, beauty, and wellness imagery where transmitting brand sentiment and persona is a priority.
Pro Tip
Obtain a signed model release and confirm licensing or usage rights before publishing or distributing identifiable likenesses.
Use Cases
Used in e-commerce and product photography to convey brand emotion, lifestyle, or identity, particularly for fashion, beauty, and wellness brands.
