Well I am no lawyer, don't play one on tv, don't want to be one, think there are way too many of them, and its been decades since my business law class.
Consideration the way I understood it is to mean something of value. It doesn't necessarily have to be money. It can be anything of value, and quite often in photography it might be prints. The photo produced is something of value. Yet consideration requires both parties to receive something. It may not be equal value, but it has to have value.
Why is consideration so important? Without consideration, the contract is unenforceable.

Maybe a lawyer on the list would like to comment. It is my understanding that the release needs "consideration" (money) in order to make it valid in the courts.This one does not.

I shot some high school kids in the studio for a brochure I'm making to promote senior portraits and I want parents to sign off on them.
Who's got experience with this stuff? The ASMP one seems a tad too complex and may scare off the parents.
