Are the release forms generally related to "Yes, we really are allowed
to use this content" (created by the person who has signed the FPCA) -
or are they related to "yes, you can use this picture of my face" -
which generally (I would guess?) is a person who was the subject of a
photo taken by someone ELSE who had signed the FPCA?
