I like to use a release that kind of covers all the bases, if it is just a TFP shoot and the model  does not want to give a blanket release I can cross out the first paragraph and we are ready to rumble.  If you intend to publish and there is any nudity involved you must have two forms of ID on file with the release.  Otherwise you might be liable for a huge federal fine.  So I just make it practice to always get copies of ID, then I don't forget the one time I really need it.  Also get the release signed before you start to shoot.  Once you pick up that camera signing a release is the last thing on your mind.

Depending on you and your needs adjust the wording.  This is a simple release that covers 90% of the situations.  Feel free to modify it to fit your needs.
