The specific law regarding model releases (for whom and what), depends
upon the jurisdiction that one is in.

As a general rule of thumb, it is advisable to obtain a model release for:
* Every identifiable individual in a photograph;
* Every identifiable work of art in a photograph;
* Every identifiable building in a photograph;
