I take professional photos of many people, complete strangers or personal friends and family(non-famous\actors etc..) Is it ok to use unfamiliar people photos for preview purposes?

I read the GR copy right wiki and it talks about famous\artists\musicians etc…

So if a photo is of a complete stranger is it ok to use for preview image?

For portraits or photos of people one needs to include a signed model release. Please revise this article in the Wiki for further information about this subject.
