Everyone I've shot, I approached and asked for permission, believe me you want to ask bikers and half clothed women if you can shoot em...so I did, but never got a signed release. My intent is not to sell these commercially, in ads or on product, nor to a stock hoouse, but to showcase a cultural event in art and photographic form...in a book, but after reading all of the content here, looks as though there are as many interpretations as photographers shooting these types of images...
