Most of the lawyers are saying to play it safe and have model ID's on hand even if you cropped it, and that's definitely the absolute zero-risk method. Which is what people generally pay lawyers to give out.


I am not sweating this at all though, and here is an example why.

Assume photos that show people standing next to a bird are illegal.

If you were to take a photo of me standing next to a bird, that photo would contain a visual depiction of me standing next to a bird. Totally illegal.

But if you were to chop the photo afterwords so that it's just me, is it still a visual depiction of me standing next to a bird? No, because you can not have a visual depiction of something YOU CANT SEE in the photo.

To me this is all just common sense.
