Release form if the model is paying?

Probabally a dumb question....

Is there a need for some sort of release form if i'm being paid by the model for a shoot?
I wont be using any of the pics myself unless she requests them to be on the website.

I have the TFP & normal model release form where we are paying the model for her time......but is there one for the other way around?

Cheers
Steve

Heck, cant hurt to get one right?

You always need a release if you use the images in any commercial way whatsoever. Financial details are irrelevant. Get one even if you don't plan on using the images.

At bare minimum you need a release signed by the model that gives you permission to use the images for your own promotional use (i.e. portfolio). Like CDI said, even if you don't plan on using them right now, get a release for that particular use.
