I need photo releases for fashion show stuff right? If Im taking pictures of people in designs on the catwalk/runway do I still need them to sign picture releases? And can it just be one for the whole thing or does it have to be individual picture photo releases?

if the show is a public show, you don't need a talent release. but be sure to check with the organizers. sometimes the organizers of the show might just have a blanket cover on the whole event, meaning that any images taken, other than for press or documentation purposes, must only be used with the expressed consent of the show's organizers...

You wouldn't need them here if it was a public show and you used the pictures as illustrations on fashion shows etc, but I guess that there might be different rules for fashion shows. Maybe you need some kind of permission from whoever had the show?
