I am glad that you brought up the subject of model release as it is
something that has confused me for a while.
What decides whether or not you will need a model release? I recognise
that a human subject fully recognisable and by themselves in a
photograph in a publication for sale would need a model release to
obviate any future claims for fees, but what if the subject were
multiple and in a street scene?
