Limited model release?

I've been doing more photography lately. Considering that I ONLY want the pics for my portfolio... I do not think that I legally NEED a model release, but I would like to cover my rear...

As a model, I'm aware of the "standard" releases-- which grant the photographer more "rights" than, as a beginning photographer, I really want or need.

Are there any examples of limited "for portfolio only" releases out there? Links appreciated.

Thanks!

    A very brief blurb will work for a portfolio, modify one of the standards to fit your need. Plus, the protfolio review teams look for attention to detail like that!

    You can always change the wording of your release, saying that you will only use the photos for a portfolio either printed or online and they will not be sold etc. Or you can just keep the full release, you don't have to sell the photos or anything like that but at least you'll have a release "just in case".
