Choosing the location and direction to point the camera is the creative part.

I'm still confused by Model Release forms. If I take a photo of someone, I own the rights to the photo. So I can publish it and make money. But they own the rights to their likeness, so they can sue me for money unless I have a signed form. Is that how it works?

If you streamed your sunset shot and I walked into shot, can I sue you for using my likeness without my permission?

And how does this work with DeepFakes? If I DeepFake Sting's head denying climate change, can he sue me for likeness rights?

Model release forms are only necessary to use their likeness for advertising. If it is just art, no form needed. At least that’s my understanding.
