I agree!
But you see, If I retouch the teenage zits, which I will, and drop out the background which I also will, then they could claim that
"This wasn't the picture we signed off on... there's a part missing that was in the background"
Or
This isn't the context we agreed no... her skin is totally different and we don't like it"
Or
"We said he could use it for his brochure and now he's got it on his website"
Or
"We said he could use it on his brochure in January but the brochure came out in September when everyone is graduating and it'll cause her embarrassment"

I have to cover the bases because I may want to use it on my website or for a national campaign of senior portraiture for some future ad once I'm a household name.... In the end, like all contracts, we have to trust each other.

I can't imagine why any parent would sign this unless the "consideration" was very substantial. You could use the picture for a national ad campaign. It could be used in an article "Abused child fights depression" (I know of a situation like this which luckily did not go to court). I also wonder if the "consideration" has to be defined. Suppose you give the subject a check that bounces. They would have no recourse, because you could claim that the "consideration" was not the check.

Here's my final product which you may use, abuse, rewrite, copy, plagiarize, distort or print and use to wrap fish.

It's still too long and scary but I have to cover myself for the photoshopping and skin retouching that I do to the pics.
