Most of the US magazines use the same model release, they just change it to fit their company, their name and address. Some even accept our model release, like Hustler.

Now if it is good enough for these people and they have enough money to make it worth suing them. Then it should be good enough for us.

If a lawyer cannot supply a model release, should you be asking him about the law on photography. It is a common misconception that lawyers know every law.

But Space is right, always check that you are not breaking local laws.

I was once nearly arrested in Palm Springs, for shooting in a house. Got away with it by persuading the police it was amateur. They were probably well pissed off when they saw the pics in Club International.
