That was my first thought too. “Consent forms”? What’s that all about?

Technically speaking if the photographer is going to use the picture in a commercial work (e.g. school annual) he needs a consent form from each person in the picture.

Way back when they didn't worry about such things ~ now they do.

This is a clever solution to an otherwise very tricky problem. i'd just erased their heads!

Professional photographers need to get consent forms for any photo with people in it. AFAIK that has been true for a while now
