If you commission them, then yes (as far as my experience with UK law & practice goes). If they do it for free, then agree in writing who has the rights to their use.
Either way, make sure you bring the topic up before the shoot - if they use film, you get to keep the negatives; if they use digital, ask if they will be keeping a copy (after they give you the disc).
It's usual for the photographer to keep several shots for their own portfolio - again, if you commission the work, you can request that no shots are used in their book.

The photographer is the one with the rights to the pictures. What the model can or can't not authorize is the use of her image on those pictures (complicate, I know)
If the photographer wants to use the images for his/her portfolio, sell them or anything, he/she would have to get a release from the model.
Even if the model pay for the pictures, the rights to the pictures is still own by the photographer. Is like when you buy a CD, you are are not buying the rights of the music, lyrics, compositions and such. You can not copy and re-sell that CD for example.
The only way the model (or anybody else) will own the rights to the pictures, is if the photographer decide to give them to him/her (sell them, transpass them, etc). Anything that can be substantiated with a contract, before or after the shoot.
So on a simple scenario, "NO" she doesn't.

Regwah. I would rather look at your photographs than those of a bunch of posers disturbing the peace. Probably collage students thinking they're the next David Bailey. From your photos it was obviously breeding season and those prats could have caused a disturbance to this and frightened the birds away and caused a decline in the population. Isn't that illegal. You could have set the wildlife police onto then. You're the best Regwah. Since you won't think or say nasty things to them then I'll do if for you. I hope salt water gets into their cameras and sand into the gymnasts embarrassing bits! ;¬P

No - he/she doesn't. Any work is copyrighted to the original creator.
Now, that doesn't include contracts, legal work, etc. I've done a portfolio before that the model handed me a contract stating that after the shoot, i turn over all rights and licenses to the photographs to the modeling agency.

if he is taking the photos free, he might ask for rights to specific photos and you must have the model sign a model release saying she expects ,,,,,,, whatever percent of the sale price each time you use one of her photos. if she pays you to take her portfolio, the rights to them are totally hers, as she has paid for a product, just like buying a car from you. if you did it at cost, maybe you can still get the rights to one or two photos but you must get signed permission and on your end, you can request that any time she sells a photo of herself that you have taken, that you get credit for being the photographer.

It seems logical that she would; however, if there was an issue, it may not hold up in court with out a signed contract. All lawyers aside, any model deserves her pictures
