I have heard some talk about releases. At what point does one need to start considering chasing down people that you have just capture and have them sign a release? Is there a boilerplate template out there anywhere that can be customized easily??

Similarly, how do you guys get your copywrite/logos/signature on the corner of your pictures? Is that just PP??

Thanks

JMWallace,

To be careful, if you're going to use those images (where faces are recognizable) - especially commercially - you need a release. Even a shot of yourself will need your own release if you decide to sell the photo. I'd be careful shooting kids (minors) without prior permission.

For copyright/watermarks, it's done in PP - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=watermark+copyright.

as noyjimi said, for commercial use. crap i don't remember where to find that release form. i'm sure a simple google search will turn one up.

If concerned photographic legal issues, you should probably order a copy of this book...it's makes for some good reading...
