Photography Question

Model Release Per Shoot?


I searched the archives and found nothing! Question: I've done several paying shoots now and always get model releases for everyone I shoot. Having done that, is it necessary to get another model release for the same person each time I shoot them? Are model releases dependent upon the model, date, time, and shoot, or just the model? Once released, always released?
Thanks, guys!

  Good question. The answer is yes because as you noted, the release is specific for a specific date and arguably time. Why? Because someone may like the image depicted on an earlier date for one reason or another, but a day later, may not feel the same about what you shot and may not want it published.

Take it light.
