Art vs. Commercial Use
Photography often blurs the line between art and commercial purpose. When these images are used as artistic expression, the protections under the First Amendment generally apply. In public spaces—whether a park, a beach, or a busy city street—individuals have no reasonable expectation of privacy. This means that photographs of people in these settings can be taken legally without their consent.
However, when these images are intended for commercial use, model releases are required to obtain permission from the subjects for any promotional or profit-driven purposes.
