Lifehacker has a great article on shooting in public called ‘ Know Your Rights: Photography in Public.’ So, if you took an amazing street photo of an unassuming subject, get a release signed afterward.

In the United States, taking photos of an individual in public is a protected right for the photographer since privacy cannot be guaranteed to anyone in a public place.
