I was under the impression that in candid photos where the subject is recognizable you have 2 options. For editorial work, journalism, newspaper, whatever than the photo is usable without a release, however assuming that person is recognizable you cannot sell that photo commercially without a model release ie: advertising or commercial use.
Correct me if I'm wrong but thats what I've been led to believe.

I walk across London Bridge every morning and evening going to/from work. You should see the amount of people who take take pro shots or pro film reels for advertising. They don't stop me and ask for a release.
I've seen so many film strips or photos of the "working people" entering the City of London, on TV or adverts.
