Minor situation...
So I don't shoot minors without parents consent and present. However, the mom is willing to sign release and permission and allow the 18 year old boyfriend to escort her. Out on location and very public. I have been an instructor and a substitute. Will this be any different? Or is it best to "say no" and insist on the parent to be present? Age of the model is 16.

I wouldn't want to upset a busy parent by 'strong arming' them to attend a shoot when they have somewhere else to be. Apr 21 08 11:47 am Link I know better. I just don't feel confortable about it. But the mom is always at work and she came up with the idea. I decided to not do it. Parents must be present and I don't feel right; therefore, I will say no.

I wonder how all those high school seniors get their pictures taken without their parents present. Apr 21 08 12:02 pm Link PYPI wrote: Remote control. The photographer shoots from another state.

Apr 21 08 12:05 pm Link why are photographers still asking these questions???? what type of pictures are you planning on doing with her? porn??? why would it matter if she had an escort, BF, Parents, etc... if anything, i think the BF would be more of a problem than anything... those that say they would never shoot a minor without escorts would be throwing away a good chance of discovering someone new. if you don't plan on having Chris Hanson popping up behind the wall, you shouldn't have a problem.

Apr 21 08 12:08 pm Link From reading these forums, one would think minors are infected with some kind of plague.

And make sure that boyfriend keeps his teenage jealousy in check Apr 21 08 12:21 pm Link I shoot High school seniors, so I work with mostly underaged kids, just keep it clean and not a bad idea if you take along one of your staff. just be smart and know where to draw the line. Apr 21 08 12:27 pm Link It is always much better to do the shoot with their parent actually there. If she just turn up with her boyfriend, some of them are very possessive!!! You might got accuse of all sorts.... I once dance with a girl in a salsa club which I happen to know her for some time. Her boyfriend got very jealous & they both end up arguing for the whole nite! Could you imagine if that happen during a shoot.... say the model smile at you, & her boyfriend jealous .... thinking she is flirting with you ! Better get the model to bring her parent there ... minus the boyfriend Apr 21 08 12:27 pm Link Aaron Photography wrote: Don't do it!

Apr 21 08 05:33 pm Link Aaron Photography wrote: I would insist on having the parent present given this is a minor girl with an adult (legally, anyhow)boyfriend. Parents are the guardians, not the boyfriend and they should be present. Given that you are involved in the education of minors I would want to avoid anything that could be perceived as wrong since your livelihood could depend on it. Apr 21 08 05:43 pm Link |
