if photograpphers dont get a model release form signed and dated the photos still belong to the model as it is her likeness the other reason photographers need a model release form is because you have to show id before you sign to prove you are over 18
so as hal has done none of this the pics do not belong to her and is she shaw that the images are not of a minor someone under 18 and could she prove that if the model sued
well you would if you had a model release form without one you could end up in court paying damages
may advice to all models is only go to photographers if they ask you to sign release forms remember you can put on the release form on the condition my face is not showing all pictures subject to model approval and so on so you do still have some say on what pictures are shown and where
never go near any photographer who knows nothing about model release forms you may well up on cards in phone boxs in london asthis is what happened to me so beware photographer who no nothing about the industry even time for print work requires a model release form
