    Correct answer Nancy OShea

    Yes. A model release is required for feet, hands and other identifiable body parts, so the model knows they’re being used for commercial purposes.

    for the third time:

     

    post this in the stock contributors forum, https://community.adobe.com/stock-contributors-36

     

    and change your title slightly to avoid a duplicate post error.
