Hi there,
I would whole-heartedly suggest getting model releases. It's a very simple
form to organise and it can save you a whole host of headaches later on.
What you might find is that a few people are 'funny' about signing away 'all
rights' to a picture - sometimes this is understandable. If that is a
potential problem, then be specific about where the pictures will be used,
if you can.
Regards
Jack

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] model release
Hi all,
I'm working on an exhibit about/for children and want to use images of
them on a few panels. I was considering flickr, and I realize it's
legal for museums to do so, but then I got concerned about model
releases. Parents tend to be pretty protective of their children's
images. I recall a horror story I heard in an exhibition course about
a museum having to take down an exhibit because a visitor sued. The
images are small (6" x 4" tops).
My museum doesn't have a policy on model releases, but we don't rely
on fair use when it comes to copyright issues. We tend to buy stock
images or use creative commons-licensed images.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Shana
