It is a form that photographers use to enable them to sell or
otherwise use a picture taken of a model without the need for
them to get the model's permission every time they use it.
Normally the model is signing away rights to any royalties or
other benefits from the picture(s).
Although called "model" the subject can be anyone - not just a
professional or other model. ie if you posed for me and I wanted
to use the pictures for publication or sale I would get you to
sign a release form.
