what one photographer does is bring a pack of fresh dollar bills. after he shoots he has the
person sign a very simple release form and gives a dollar.

of course, as abort said, models would find the long form intimidating since they'd need a lawyer to explain to them what it really means.....

we could change that then to "own and reproduce"
but that was more or less the "simple model release" the guy uses
and add "For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged," to the start
to indicate that the person was paid
but if you're shoting a crowd of people and you and the crowd are standing on public space... then it's considered open season
here's a nice thread...
