The models "right of his picture" and the
"photographers copyright" are in conflict, means both the model
and the photographer can't use the taken pictures without harming
the others right. To resolve this unclear situation
professional model and photographers are signing a so called "TfP
Model Release", allowing the model to get the best photos of the
photo shooting for personal use. The photographer gets the right
to use and publish the taken pictures. Please find the
"TfP Model Release" I use below: model shall receive a copy of the
best pictures taken during the photo shooting. Photographer agrees
to provide a copy of 20-30 pictures for free. Model shall have the
right to display the provided pictures in any media form, use or
print images for the models portfolio or website. If model uses or
publishes via print or electronic media any of the images taken by
the photographer, model agrees to include photographer name credit
within the image if digital media, or photo credit within the
document if by print media.

acknowledged,
I (the model) hereby irrevocably and
perpetually grant to BearPhotographer" or his assignees
