In what situations do I really need a model release? |
You need a release for commercial use, anytime the person is personally identifiable or recognizable.
Assuming you took this photo in a public place, you could probably use a photo like you describe as a print for sale, but not as a stock image for others to use.
Getting a release covers you legally, and enhances the value if you do want to use it commercially. |
