I am doing a project for an exhibition at the moment and I need to get photographs of young people out shopping. The subjects I am after are 18 to 24 in age. These images are for display as part of an art show. I don't expect this to be commercial work but the images may be shown again later as part of another exhibition or perhaps as part of my portfolio online.
Please could you advise me what I would need to do in terms of getting people who appear in the images to sign a release form? I will actually be stopping people in the street and asking them to pose breifly for me rather than snapping them on the sly so they will know they are being photographed.
Also I am currently a self employed artist and graduated a few years ago so am not a student at the moment or anything. Will the police question me if they see me stopping and photographing people or is this ok as long as I am polite and not making a pest of myself? I intend to do this on a busy shopping street in a large british town.
Any advice about this regarding procedure and legality would be really helpful!
Thank you!
