You do not really need model releases in the UK.
The only reason you would need one is so you can sell the images overseas.
UK law states that any images taken are the property of the photographer. As long as they were not taken while breaching privacy laws, such as shooting through almost closed curtains, or while trespassing etc...

You typically ask before the studio shoot or after. On the street, you should just ask people to sign after photographing them. And after you show them the images on camera. If no deal, just delete them.

x2 with lobbolt... you merely explained what a model release is, which is quite easy to find out through google or stock sites, but where's the "how to get" part? Thanks

Thanks for the info, but what I would like to know more about is how to bring up the subject of signing the model release for photographic subjects. Can you post a video on that?
