Hrm nor have I, the only MM model I have in my portfolio is a 17 year old Male Model.

Though I think I followed most of what was covered in the original op, its a matter of keeping it age appropriate, having parents present, and just being professional.

Guess you could sorta call em that, except doesn't really concentrate on photographing the family unit, but usually just singles out to either the girl or boy as you'd notice in the portfolio of his. (edit: hrm, he used to have a lil boy in his portfolio... come on man, variety is good)

that's why you should become a bondage photographer. model's don't argue when they are suspended from the ceiling by a rope tied around their nipple.

That still doesn't get their Birthday suit off.... though if the suspension by nipple allows the skin to give way, then maybe that'll do the trick.

Thanks for the reminder. I should add a fourth rule:

4. Never do bondage work with underage models. Ever. No matter what.

well i guess if you want to get their skin off you can become a horror photographer.

Well you know it tastes like chicken right *does a Hannibal lector impression*

Speaking of bondage, my avatar, should it be a no-no if I have a lil girl's hand shown under the chain, with the chain going across the wrist, or would that be considered sexually implicative of bondage.

You have to be the only person alive who actually WANTS to do events photography. Most of us just do it to pay the bills for the fun stuff.

But he does have a point and it's his choice. Just like saying I gota be the only person that really wants to bother printing traditionally on old ass paper ( though we know thats not true due to all the film/digital debates, and I know plenty that like shooting events and such, but at times it certainly does feel like "work" ).

Good luck on your world domination thread thingy.

Oh, forgot to mention: Having a parent present is a good idea. Having a signed model release is also a good idea.

But...

Just because a parent gives permission does not RELEASE YOU FROM FOLLOWING THE LAW. Neither a parent nor a legal guardian can override state and country laws. If you intend to shoot a minor, keep it age-appropriate according to the law in your area - regardless of what the model or parent/guardian may want.
