Nothing at all. You are in an industry where ladies get that asked of them a lot. Just ignore those requests until time comes that you want to do that. IF such a time comes. You are doing fine.

Agreed, you should put more on your portfolio info though...  Especially about doing age appropriate only &/or "NO NUDES"...

Unfortunately though, even if you do that, it probably wont stop the people who don't bother to read your info, especially since they fail to read Age: 16  (nude=prison)...

Report them to the mods. I'm sure the mods will give a warning & if they get enough complaints, they're outta here...

Good luck on your endeavors...

(edit) I'd suggest taking the x's off your name, it might imply something...(/edit)

what if they did and they are just perverts ! Send the e-mail to the mods let them handle it from there and if the mods give them a warning they will read a models bio completely next time. I would send the e-mail to the police just in case and if the police found kiddie porn and did a rodney king on them then the perv got what he deserve.

You're a beautiful young lady. You will find plenty of people who want to shoot you clothed. If you lived closer, I would be honored.

With big soft eyes and pouty lips like this, maybe they can't wait two years.

That's not me being a perv, that's just me paying a compliment with a touch of funny in it.

No but, I would suggest doing away with the lingerie shots, just keep it swimsuit. It'll keep people from wanting to push it further or having false expectations of you.
Remember the "sexy yet 16" thread? This is what some of us who had your well-being in mind were concerned about.

Get rid of the "x" bracketing your name. A lot of exotic dancers use them and the guys who work with them will key on that to request nude/erotic work from a model they don't know.

You've just been dealing with the wrong photographers.  Regardless of age (with some caveats), if anyone just wants to do nude shots then maybe they have some kind of agenda.  While I have photo ideas that would be best served by some nudity, that's not the only type of shots I want to do.  It all depends on the model, her comfort level with the type of photography and how flexible I am with working with her restrictions/limitations.

I think the shots of you with the black dress suit you well.  Good luck and I'm sure you'll get some genuine offers.

Just email one of the modelrators and explain what's going on. They can change your name.

Keep in mind she's 16 in ENGLAND.

I'm not an advocate of shooting kids sans clothes, but the age of consent in England IS 16.

May not be an American custom, but the world doesn't always go by this country's rules.

Go to "Info" at the top navigation bar, and use the "contact a mod" link.

Tell them what you would like your new "name" to be.

It varies state to state. From as young as 14 (I think). But "Adult content" must be from 18-21 (again depending on the state).

Nope, it's 18. You can be emancipated at 15, but most (lawabiding, morally acceptible) people won't touch a nude female untill they reach 18. It's a huge grey area to deal with, and most of us just prefer to err on the side of caution.

No matter WHAT your age and WHAT country you live in...if a photographer cannot respect your wishes, find one who WILL. They are there.

Hi,

This always comes up from models always get these requests but are they aware of the cool features that ModelMayhem has like:

1. Blocking members of your choice from sending you emails.(Go to the homepage and hit "Block User")

2. If you get repeated emails from the same person you can see who it is from and delete their email without even opening it.

3. Nude or porn offers are common to the internet. "It is the nature of the beast".

4. When it comes to porn offers on the net they do not care who it is as long as they are alive.
