If I have a photo that I took (legally of course) and I would like to use it only in my portfolio (which will be viewed by possible clients), do I need a model release for it's use?

Thanks

Mark, technically as you're using it for marketing, and you will (hopefully) make monetary gain as a result, you should have a release - a lot of people don't and will use whatever they like on their website. Can you email the person, tell them of your intention?

Laws vary from country to country, make sure to check your local laws.
