    Tks for the post frg. I have bookmarked the page & will print it off.I often see so many media & professional photos for sale with hundreds of people in them (many clearly) & i wonder how many model releases were signed that day.

    Just for info..i also always carry a Positive Notice blue card which can assist. A lot of sporting events that i photograph have under 18's thus i show those my card prior to the organisers in the event of any parents asking whom i am (which being a parent myself i actually appreciate that people are aware of the dangers these days). Sometimes you assume you are photographing an adults cricket game or surf event but there will be 17 year olds playing in an open match.
