Generally, no. Unless there is an agreement saying otherwise, the photographer owns the copyright to the images and controls how they may be used. A model release usually gives the photographer permission to use the model’s likeness; it does not usually give the model rights to use the photographs.

That means the model typically cannot publish, repost, license, or otherwise use the photos without the photographer’s permission, whether the use is commercial or editorial. Credit alone does not replace permission, and lack of credit does not change who owns the copyright.

The key exception is when both parties agreed in advance that the model would receive usage rights, copies, or a license for certain purposes. In that case, the agreement governs what the model can do.
