Hi. There are two parts to your question. One part I know about –the editorial part.
Every pro editorial stock photographer knows there’s no permission required to take a picture of a log cabin or home, or boat etc., and then license it to a publication. (First Amendment, Freedom of the Press). There might be a complication for example if the publication is an instrument of public relations for, say, a car manufacturer. But then the photo editor at the magazine will let you know a release would be needed, because of the commercial nature of their trade publication. Otherwise it’s rare that you’ll find publishers of magazines or books asking you for a model or property release if they are going to use your photo for editorial purposes like to illustrate a story.
Hope this helps. –Ben H
