Thanks, Juni for the head-up. This surely will be useful for those looking out for stock photos but don't know where to begin with.

As for myself, sometimes I go Flickr, browse and then email the author to ask for permission. Some of them were quite helpful really, and surprised that people asked before they use. Permission were granted by 2 guys, free of charge.

Thanks for the links guys. There are lots of resources there.

I've never done it, but I was just curious if anyone here has placed any of their photos in the stock photo markets?

That is a fine line and depends on what country or state you are in, typically if people are in public anything goes (as long as it isn't for monetary gain or slander)....

You can however be nice and let them know or ask permission, generally if you are not using it to make a profit you don't have to worry, however it gets fuzzy when you are going to use their likeness to make a profit. Again though once in public we are all usually fair game...

Basically look at it this way:
Personal or News use...No release

Marketing/Ads/Profit....Need a release

Some info on model releases

Here is a whole bunch royalty free people photos

Well, there was this website who wanted some headers with people in them but I got stuck because most free photos requires a model's release if a face is discernable, even in crowds. Since its hard to track down those faces and the headers will appear in a domain parking page, I would'nt dare use the photos. For the moment, I e-mailed the webmaster to buy some photos I could work with.

It'll be nice if there is some free stock sites with pre-released photos or at least with e-mails of the models so it'll be easier to ask for permission.
