Depending on the subject of the photo, they shouldn't have been able to publish it without a release. If it was a group of people at an event and the subject was the event, then it's different. But if it was just a photo of you walking down the street and you were the subject. They needed a release.

Model releases are not required for photos of crlebrities or newsworthy individuals or those photograped for the purpose of reporting a news event. If you are recognizably famous to even a small degree, hold public office or are otherwise "notable," the magazine can run the photo. This is how many news photographers, celeb photogs and all paparazzi make their living.

A photographer is supposed to get a model release form signed by any person whose face is recognizable in any photograph that is published. If this is you and you can prove it, contact the magazine and demand money. They used your picture without permission. A generic crowd shot might be one thing, but if you are big and clearly recognizable in the picture and the obvious subject, then it is different.

Just lucky I guess. However, having studied a great deal about media and the laws surrounding print, film, tv etc. you cannot be shown in a commercial magazine, movie, or tv show without granting your express, written permission. So, if you are in People without first giving your permission, sue them.

Well, congratulations, you must be a person! But, seriously, it is a photographers' rule that persons photographed for any kind of publication must sign a release form, if their photograph is published without their consent they have a right to sue the photographer and the publishing company - so. go ahead, call your lawyer.

Are you sure it wasn't a photograph of the dog as a feature? Read the caption.
