shooting 17 year old male

[alexkidd]

I've got a shoot with a 19 year old model, who wants to bring her male friend along who is getting into modelling, she has said others wouldn't shoot him because he was 17

personally i have no issue with this but curious whether anyone else might know of something i should be careful of as it'd be my first time shooting under 18 without parents around

ty in advance

Not sure about the laws..etc on it, you may need a guardian release form signed if they're wishing to publish or display the images.

If he were even partially nude it would be covered under the same laws as kiddie porn and could land you in some serious hot water. Other than that I'm not aware of any issues with under 18s.

big thing to be aware of is the sexual offences act makes it a criminal act to take 'indecent images' of an under 18. Most people will (I think sensibly) shy away from an form of nude/partially nude work till he turns 18
