Journalism is treated differently than other commercial enterprises by
law. If the subjects don't complain it's alright for art: based on the
artist's tolerance for lawsuits, but most corporate buyers won't want to
see the possibility of a future complaint.
I have photos of people doing good but they don't make sense without an
explanation and I don't have releases. What you are asking for is some
really legendary photography: not an easy request. I would like to see
what you turn up, sincerely.
