Question about photographing someone under 18 years old
Joves wrote: You need to check your states laws regarding this. Some states allow people under the age of 18 to enter into limited contracts, it is not that they are adults. But either way you want them to have an escort with them, and you want an assistant. You can shoot the bikini photos with no problem, but you must be careful of the posing. Many of the underage photographers that got into trouble with clothed shots, did so because the shots were considered as sexual in nature, or provocative. And to tell you the truth they were correct on that, many were blatantly so. I am not a censorship kind of guy, but there is also a responsibility in your freedoms. So check your local laws, and have an assistant that is female to keep you out of trouble.
Oh! And as a side note. On places such as Model Mayhem their minimum age is 16, so this is actually a barometer of how from the age of 16+ the law is different from 16-. If at that age it was a major problem, then those sites would not allow it. It is just a matter of the content.
