I enjoy these monthly portrait threads and find myself going back to them, looking for updates, several times a week. One question that keeps bouncing in my head is about consent. I know this is a non-commercial site, so there is no direct profit to be gained by posting. Photography i only a hobby for me, so I'm not familiar with all the required consent forms for publication. Do you get signed consent, advise your models of your intent to post here, or just do it knowing there is no money changing hands, so there is no threat of the model coming back later upset about images used without consent?
I have only done a handful of portraits, mostly family, but intend to do more in the future. I'm pretty sure that most of those would not want their photo posted online.
I'm curious as to how the frequent posters think about this.
Thanks in advance.
Chris
