his legal representatives, successors, and all persons or corporations acting with his permission, unrestricted permission
to copyright, use, and/or publish photographic portraits, pictures, or images of me taken on ____________________,

I hereby waive any right that I may have to inspect and approve the finished product or copy that may be used in connection
with an image that the Photographer has taken of me, or the use to which it may be applied.

I further release the Photographer, or others for whom he is acting, from any claims for remuneration associated with any form of
damage, foreseen or unforeseen, associated with the proper commercial or artistic use of these images.

I understand that any photographic portraits, pictures, or images of me created by the photographer which are not recognizable may
be used with impunity, in any circumstance or context, with no remuneration, considerations, requests, or permissions required.

I acknowledge that the photography session was conducted in a completely proper and highly professional manner, and this release was
willingly signed at its termination. I certify that I am not a minor, and am free and able to give such consent.

...but some models/talents find it a bit daunting

[Minuano27]

actually, the long form is better, because it covers everything that should be released to the photographer. the short form's reference to "all rights to reproduce" is actually limited as it covers only the "right to reproduce". a lawyer imaginative enough can punch a hole through this in case of dispute...

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.....

got this format from somewhere sa internet and have used it since

different pud if minor ang model

[agoroy]

unsaon na lang kung 'buang' atong model? kinahanglan pa ba ni model release?

[Ian]

If nag shoot ka sa boang sa street.. no need.. since its a public place..

[abortretryfail]

street photography has a lot of grey areas in terms of legalities... but basically, yes you're right.

although, if you single out a person as a subject then it could be interpreted differently.

I've heard of a US based photographer who got sued by a homeless man for using a picture
of him in the photographer's exhibit. although everyone seems to be sueing everybody there
just to make a fast buck.

here's a nice read:

Well, if you think you need to publish your work then IMHO its not hard to just approach the subject and say "Hope you dont mind, I was taking pictures of you.. blah blah..".. Really depends on what you intent to do next with your photos.
