What is the best way to get a model contract and model release forms ?

Asked over 2 years ago - Silver Spring, MD

I need to get a model contract and model release forms from the operators of a website that display the pictures of a person very close to me (part of the content is explicit). At the time the pictures were taken she was overseas, but the custodian of records of the website is here in the USA. I would like to approach them without the intervention of an attorney if at all possible.

The easiest way is to ask the model that you're very close to for the documents you want. Failing that, you can file a lawsuit and issue a subpoena to the website for the documents you want. Of course that involves a lawyer, and it's not clear why you need these documents or what entitles you to them or what groudns you'd have for a lawsuit..
