Anyone else want a model release form? Email me.
They are pretty well standard all you have to do is change the names from mine to yours. You do not need to speak to a lawyer. A good Photography magazine will tell you where to get one.

LMFAO!
Let me make sure I am understanding your advice. You are telling a guy NOT to consult an attorney before he does something that could very well end up costing him everything he owns if the model later decides to sue him?
Look Charly, (laying my guns down) I am not sure how things are where you live but in the US people love to sue the shit out of each other. Laws vary not only from state to state but also from county to county and city to city. Let me give you some examples:
It is not legal to photograph actual sex acts within the city limits of Las Vegas, NV.
Photographing of topless females is legal in public areas of King County, WA but bottomless photos could land you in jail.
These are just two examples that YOU most likely were not aware of. If beemk had done either of these things and gotten away with them at the time, he could still lose a legal battle from the model later over these very issues. It is best to ALWAYS check with an attorney who knows the local laws before blindly subjecting yourself to the wrath of the US court system.
Our Government is attempting to shut down the US porn industry altogether. Why give them more ammunition to do this by not covering your own ass?
