We just returned from a 90 day cruise, never once used a model release. Off the ship I asked permission to photograph, particularly in Muslim countries such as Indonesia, Egypt and Tunisia. For general crowd shots no big deal. On the ship I didn't ask because they asked me to take the photo, e.g. the knitting group. In Tangier is the only place I really noticed women hiding their faces, expecting tourists to photo them. Which is why I always ask first when doing a shot of a single person/ close-ups.
There was a professional photographer passenger as well, didn't see any model releases there either.

For my upcoming cruise, I expect that I won't be focusing on people much, but I'm wondering whether I should still be prepared with a model release just in case. (I've never used one before, and overall I'm inclined to skip it because I'm not planning to sell photos.) -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> "Boost the stock market -- fire someone" -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
