| Has anyone had experience asking a perfect stranger to sign a model release? In order to sell a print containing a recognizable person, there must be a signed model release attached to it. How would you approach an individual to sign the release if they were captured in your shot? |

Ask them! I know it seems simple, but most of the time it works! Just explain that their image in your photo needs their release to be used by you for commercial purposes.

John, I would love it if you would share it. I've been looking around the Web but haven't found anything really suitable. Thank you very much! |

I don't know whether that release would be valid in South Africa, but I'd like to have a look just in case. Thanks :)

Google is your friend:

and try here to get your own.
A model release can be written in pen on a dinner napkin. All it needs, for most times, is a couple key elements. |
