Generic photos of private property -- Release needed.

Hello

I am setting up my first images on Alamy. I have a photo, below, of part of an attraction from Great Wolf Lodge in Ohio:

Is that "Art"? I'd ask Alamy.

It was actually one of my QC images, so I think I am okay in that respect.

I have a similar question(s).

For a photo like this where you wouldn't know where it was taken, but lets say it was taken on private property or in a building, do you need a property release?
Ex: Photo of fish taken in aquarium. Not a particularly recognizable fish.

For a photo taken from the street (public view) but with a store name in it, do you need a property release?

For a photo of a person taken in public, do you need a release (I pretty much know this one is a yes, just making sure)

Where can I find more information regarding, specifically, property releases without having to contact a lawyer?

I would push for a property release for safety and peace of mind. Better safe than sorry. If it was taken on private property I would most definitely get one and file it.

Yes. I really don't know about the whole object deal, it might be a really rare fish only one or two aquariums might have.
No.
No.

I thought for stock, even if the person is in public, if they are recognizable a release is required?

Page 87 of the "Photographer's Legal Guide", goes through it word for word. I recommend you buy it, it in some cases is true in some states but in most states is not.

Yeah, I'll probably be buying that now

Thanks.
