We have a very generic photo release form that we use when we photograph 
visitors in our museum. One for adults, and a second type for minors. We're 
reevaluating our photo release proceedure and were looking for guidance on 
how other museums handle their photo releases. Here are a few of our 
questions:  

1) Do you have every photograph accompanied by a release? If yes, do you 
have a successful organizing strategy on keeping related photos and releases 
together?

2) Do you have different policies for photos designated for marketing purposes 
(advertisments, billboards, brochures, etc.) vs. public relations/promotional 
purposes (for journalists, website, newsletter, etc.)

3) Do you have different policies for adults vs. children?

4) Is there ever a time when you don't need to have a photo release? 

5) Is there language that you reccommend we include?

6) Have you ever needed to fall back on your release because the person 
photographed didn't want their image used? Or worse, have you ever been in 
the same situation but didn't have a photo release? What happened?

Thanks for your help with this.
