The form should clearly state the intended use of the photos and contact information on how to withdraw consent. By having a signed consent form, you can protect yourself from any legal action if the person changes their mind later.
Applied to photography, it means that people have the right to decide whether or not they want to be photographed. A good way to ensure that we are respecting a person's right to autonomy is by asking for consent.
In most cases, you will need to obtain permission from the person holding the rights to the image.
Although the photographer does own the copyright for the photographs, they cannot use the photographs publicly without your permission if the photographs have been commissioned for private or domestic purposes (such as a family photo shoot or a wedding.)
DO ask for permission if you're about to invade someone's privacy, intimate moment. DON'T need to ask for permission if you're taking photographs in a public place. DO carry your professional business cards, it's the easiest way to ask for permission.
