Stock Photography and Legal Issues

A model release form is a contract that can be signed by the model which officially lets the photographer use the likeness of the model in his or her pictures.
Keywords would be very useful in organizing my photos, and helping potential buyers in finding my work.
The logo or name may be trademarked or copyrighted which could cause some legal conflicts.
You should save space because people could use this space for advertising.

Companies like royalty-free images because they cost nothing to reproduce, while rights-managed images cost.
Royalty-free images should be used with caution, because other companies may use the same or a similar photo.
Rights managed photos are a viable option other than royalty-free photos because they are more conservative.
Rights managed photos are managed so that the people who use it are managed and so that not everyone can openly use them.

If I take pictures in an art museum which allows photographs to be taken and I photograph some paintings or sculpture, can I sell the photographs?
Taking pictures of art would also be a form of still life photography, which is why I am interested in it.
