You sure about that? AFAIK the copyright is with the creator, i.e. the photographer. Model release is required on for privacy purposes, not for copyright.
- sib 12y agoThat is correct, at least in the USA. Photog owns the copyright upon creation. Model release is required for (certain) uses in publication, but not all - for example, newspapers do not have to get model release from people in photographs used for editorial purposes.
