Nudes Age
We obviously know that nude models have to be over 18. But, can the photographer be UNDER 18...? [I'm not talking 12, more like 16 or 17] Jun 03 08 07:56 pm Link I'd think the photog would have to be 18+ for nudes as well... It's like a 16 year old tryin to buy porn, smokes, or anything else requiring an 18+ I.D. I'd imagine it to be illegal but I'm not a lawyer...  Jun 03 08 07:59 pm Link Tread lightly. You will be 18 soon enough. There is a lot to learn about settings, exposures, timing and creating an idea first, so concentrate on those qualities and when you turn 18 you'll be ready for all that lies ahead. Jun 03 08 08:58 pm Link maybe this guy is Larry Flint jr. Jun 03 08 09:01 pm Link PhotoJoe wrote: guy? Look again. Jun 03 08 09:05 pm Link Nude models don't have to be 18. They do need to be 18 if the shots are to be lewd (naughty). Of course you need to look into your local state laws. This subject has been discussed over and over. There are famous photographers/photos displaying tasteful nudes in galleries of under 18 models. (See Jock Sturges) There are tons of shots of under 18 models that are dressed in zippered lingerie that are way more sexually overt than fine art nudes. As to being a photographer under 18, why not ? The only problem I can see is making sure your parents are OK and not going to blow-up.

Jun 03 08 09:13 pm Link heh heh, this is great!!! You should photograph naked 60+ aged men and do a gallery exhibition depicting their "moments of transition and metamorphosis" into old fossils. (to become the antithesis of Bill Henson) Jun 03 08 09:15 pm Link hmmmm, I'm pretty sure photography students would have taken nudes during their course, usually starting out at around 16/17, at least in Australia. or those doing photography during high school. as long as they aren't pornography, artistic nudes should be ok?

But they were good photos. My friends were disgusted. They were like "GET THAT AWAY FROM ME" but it was very creative. Though, to scare them, I throw that book in front of their faces. Jun 03 08 09:29 pm Link as always with these questions....... ask a lawyer Jun 03 08 09:30 pm Link Clark P wrote: I'm in high school. I can't even afford to LOOK at a lawyer. Jun 03 08 09:33 pm Link You don't have to be 18 to pose nude. Just to pose in sexually provocative ways, clothed or not.

A professor may get a kick out of the subject and use it in one of his classes to start a debate. Jun 03 08 09:36 pm Link I'm kind of new to the photo world, but I think, at least in Cali, you might get some raised eyebrows on the subject. I guess, if your guardians were around for the shoot it would be ok. As for underage nudes...Jock Sturges has some amazing photographs...but the FBI came knocking on his door as a result of some of those pictures... :-/ Jun 03 08 09:43 pm Link I'd almost be willing to work with you just to piss off all the right people who think it is wrong... I am 99% sure there is no law stating how old the PHOTOGRAPHER has to be to shoot nudes...

Jun 03 08 09:48 pm Link Yep, you're probably right :-P Jun 03 08 09:48 pm Link you dont have to be 18, but i would imagine all the crazies out there that would try to get the model tossed in jail. just image if it was an older nude male model and a 17yo girl photographer. it'd be on faux news 24/7 Jun 03 08 09:51 pm Link Threads about Minor Photographers General Industry > Underage Photographers (Shooting nudes) General Industry > Under-age photographers and nude models Model Matters > Underage photographer?

Controversy!! :-) Jun 03 08 09:53 pm Link Probably depends on the state; I'd worry most about the model getting "contributing to the deliquency of a minor" Jun 03 08 09:56 pm Link ~There is a 17 year old female photographer on here who has male nudes in her port. They are outstanding by the way.~ She is also a wonderful model. What a future! Jun 03 08 09:56 pm Link Aaron Cota wrote: I have a lawyer to deal with controversy. Jun 03 08 09:58 pm Link PhotoByShirley wrote: What does it matter the subject matter - if the photographer is under 18, they can't sign a modeling release or any other legal contract. So why would a model over 18 want to have nudes shot by someone under 18? Jun 03 08 09:58 pm Link NewBoldPhoto wrote: *starts looking at plane tickets...* Jun 03 08 09:59 pm Link There are many schools across America with students under the age of 18 doing figure drawings, painting and photography. So I guess if it's OK in schools, why not. So long as it's an art form and not porn.

You just need to be 18+ sign the contract. Jun 03 08 10:10 pm Link Iona Lynn wrote: *wants in on the action* Jun 03 08 10:12 pm Link NudeDude wrote: You mean to give consent?
