MAKE SURE that the photo agency you are dealing with has signed and "perfected" model releases and that they are available. Do NOT make the mistake of saying to yourself that, well, if there's a problem, it's the photo agency's problem, not mine. It is your problem and it can very rapidly become a huge one if you're not careful.
