Common misconception that is not true. Model release forms are only needed in particular instances:
1. If the person is identifiable. Sometimes they will be, sometimes not. Personally I believe (and I could be wrong, this is just my interpretation of the law and I am NOT a lawyer, just a photographer) that because the audience of our photographs is so small, none of our target audience would be able to identify the people in the photographs.
But, it doesn't really matter, because the other standard of both of the following being true:
1. Is the photograph used in an advertisement
2. Is the photograph going to be used for commercial business purposes such as a brochure, calendar, poster, website, or other use to enhance business purposes.
Our photographs are not used in an advertisement and while it is being used by the business it is being used for internal purposes and therefore doesn't meet the standard. So no, we absolutely do not need model release forms.
