I asume the photographers who do not shoot models under the age of 18 also do not shoot any agency work.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of photographers that have such big issues shooting "under 18" do not make any significant portion of their income with their camera's.  I'd say 95% armchair hobbyists at best.

the young'uns like that are the ones most likely to go big, that's when a lot of models get signed. raw undiscovered talent is great.

Yes this is only one of the advantage available.

I hope this topic became a reference for everyone interest on shooting minor.

One of the most amazing models I have ever worked with is my current muse Ashley Meador who is only 16.

In just a few weeks Ashley will be in Los Angeles & Seattle shooting with some of the biggest names in the industry. I wish her the best of luck as she is an amazing person and friend as well as model.

Breath-taking. She is so so SO goregous!
