My curiousity makes me wonder. How does one present this kind of contract to a 'friend' without scaring them off.
You just tell them the contract is there to make everything clear between you and them and, it is also to protect them as well as you. Some people will get scared, most won't.
I thought you needed to have a model release if you were selling their image for profit, but not if you were using it to show your capabilities, like in a portfolio or on a website.
A commercial/retail photog website is an advertising tool. Advertising is commercial use. If you were to use the photos in a physical portfolio only, you wouldn't really need to worry about it but a website being out there in public for everyone to see, I would.
