I was hoping to put together a sample album to show future clients, but since I wasn't the photographer getting paid and I don't have the model release form, is this ethical/legal/honest or anything like that? Totally understand if it isn't, but I just wanted to be sure before I did anything stupid.

You also have to tell whoever looks at it that you weren't the primary photographer - but that'll probably be obvious.

Do you think I would still need a model release since I would be using the album as a marketing tool or is a verbal agreement all that is necessary? It depends on your states laws. Canon 5D Mark ii
