How much of a person needs to be showing to need a model release? Is eyes, nose and mouth? If you cut out top or bottom of face (either above or below the nose) do you need a release?

You should always get the person to sign a model release form no matter how much of the person you will be showing.
that way you are covered for anything that can and might go wrong.

Model release has nothing to do with how recognizable you are. Its a contract between photographer and model (or agency).
The basics are If the photographer hires model, the print ans negatives are his (he is free to alter and do what he will with them.
If model hires photographer (for folio work or something) She gets all rights to photo.
There are some exceptions TFP work (Time for prints) the model and photographer agree to work together with no fees and both get prints and copy of negatives. they also have to agree on what the other will be allowed to do with prints Putin there polio use at showings etc.
Be very weary of anyone telling you that you don't need a release, expertly if your doing nudes!

you want a sort launch whenever you're photographing someone and a million. you've commercial intentions for the image - merchandising, inventory, and so on. and the guy is recognizable. lower than those circumstances, the launch can grant permission to make and promote the image. 2. you're photographing a nude concern. in this social gathering, a signed sort launch protects you from after-the-actuality allegations of misbehavior in the course of the image consultation. 3. you're photographing someone who isn't in a position to furnish consent to the images (eg, a minor). that is likewise a CYA launch, and also you want to be particular that the launch is signed through a figure or legal figure of the concern. 4. you're photographing a recognizable bystander at a public journey, yet both the nature of the image or your meant utilization of the image might want to correctly be interpreted as ridiculing ore demeaning the concern.

Always have them sign a model release form. They might and most likely will sue you for compensation.

The only reason not to have a release is when the photo is being used as editorial for news.
