So, one of the problems I sometimes hear from producers it that models fail to invoice or send a receipt for the shoot. As someone has already posted that you do not need a 2257 / model release in the UK, I can tell you first hand UK model are bloody lazy! therefore I incorporate both a bill of fees from the model and her release in the same form, this keeps my TAX man happy and the 2257 up to date.
If your shooting content for a site, that requires a US billing company, your gonna need some form of 2257, if you intent to sell the content your going to need some form of 2257. for a few seconds of taking an ID photos and get a model to sign a release, it is no hardship....
chasing up models after a shoot who may have change their mind, quite have a new cell number or what to charge you extra to sign... IS
Just cover yourself now, and it will save you from hitting your head against a wall later on down the line.
