[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 196984, member: 1061"] It's not just about models. Not in the sense of "professional" models who are working/posing either for pay or for prints. Check out the verbiage of a model release and you'll see. If you're going to use someone's photos as an advertisement for your photography, you should have them sign a model release. In a sense, you are using their likeness for profit, and to promote yourself. It goes much further than that, but that's the gist of it. You don't want someone coming back on you saying, "Hey...you used pictures of me to make money. I deserve a percentage of that money." And they're right, they do deserve a percentage of it, and in court, they'd get it. Unless you have a model release. As far as working with actual models...well, that's a whole different discussion.
