Hi, There is no expectation of privacy in a public place, so there is no need for consent forms or protection from liability when taking photographs of people in a public place. It gets a little more complicated when it comes to what you are using the pictures for, though. If you are using the images for educational or editorial purposes, no need for consent forms or risk of any kind of liability. But, if, for example. the Scott's Miracle Gro company wanted to use the image for an advertising campaign, then you would need a model release or consent form. I take pictures all the time of people at our community garden and post them on our facebook page and a selection of photos I took will also be featured in an exhibit at our library and for those uses, there is no risk or need to get permission from the subject.
