>Why did he not need a model release?
Editorial/Photojournalistic use does *not* require a model release. It's a
reporting of news and is covered by 1st Amendment. Although there are
"shades of gray" and "finer points" about usage, only "commercial" use
requires a model release and the individual(s) must be recognizable. A
classic example of commercial use is advertising. Even though the
photograph might have been a "street candid" or made from a truly "publicly
owned" location, a model release is required from anyone recognizable in it.
