Hi Folks. I'm just getting starting here so please bear with me. I have a few questions about when and if a model release has to be submitted for stock photography sites.
Here are a few examples/\. Suppose I am on the beach, I take some great photos of a woman in a bikini anonomously and wish to submit them under nudes because she is topless. If I crop out her face or she is facing away from the camera, can the image be submitted without any release? I have looked at the nude catagory in Shutterstock and models that are nude but unreconizable, some have releases and some not. A bit confused here.
Next, if I attend a group glamour type shoot where a fee is paid for entry and there are several models and photographers. Again if none of the models faces are included in the shot, can it be submitted without a release as a stock image?
And last, if I take some headshots of an actor and want to isolate a part of the
face like the eyes or mouth, can this be used without a release?
Thanks for your help and expertise katt
