I've often wondered if it's legal to take pictures of someone in public and, say, put it here for critique.

You only need a model release when you are going to use the image commercially. What are they going to sue you for if you're not making any money off of it?LizM said:JPPLAY said:If you shoot in a public place of anything you should be able to publish it for profit.

Not even close I'm afraid. The only time you don't need permission is if the person is not recognizable OR if it falls under "fair use" rules for news media. Lots of folks never push the issue with "street photography" but it can get you in deep legal doo doo.
Ahh, the U.S.A. - land of beaurocracy. (I can NEVER seem to spell that right)

where could you get one of these forms? can you find them on the net and print them out or do you need a lawyer to write one up for you?GerryDavid said:One question ive been wondering lately is on the model and property release forms
