hi everyone, new member to the site and i was hoping a few of you could help me out.  im a site photographer and we have a few girls that model for us to help promote the site etc, and i was looking to get my hands on model release forms for them to sign off on.  a few of the girls are under 18 so if theres a different form for their parents to sig i'd love to get that one to.

i hope someone can help me out 

Can one assume the important bit, is getting the release signed... and as to before or after this will no doubt vary for a number of reasons;

The model may want to review shoot images particuarly on a tfp based shoot before signing off.

On a commercial shoot the photographer may want to protect against a waste of resources and hence will ask for the resease pre shoot.

Personally I believe you have to trust the person you are working with to do the right thing and that goes a lot farther than formal procedures. I have on ocasion forgotten to get a release signed and have never had a problem getting one on request.

I am sure there will always be exceptions or extreme cases, where someone will wind up saying if only "....."  stuff happens but hopefully only in a small minority of cases.
