- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hello,
I recently started doing photography more than just a hobby and I have a few questions.
I currently do sports photography mainly. All of my sports shots came from public lacrosse games involving minors. It is good to note that I did have a sibling playing on the field during every game I took pictures at, I didn't go to random games and take pictures. I am starting to build my portfolio online, and I need to know if there are any legal issues when it comes to publishing shots of minors online. I did not get any kind of release of information. It is hard to identify who the minors are unless you know the jersey number of the minor. Any pictures that have a recognizable face I will not be publishing online in my public forum.
Can I publish these pictures in my portfolio, or do I need to get into contact with the parent of the minors before publishing them?
Thank you!

The season is over. It might be possible for me to get an email list from the coach. I am only using the images in my portfolio. I will not be making a profit off of the images.
I won't just be using back of the head shots. It is required for boys to wear helmets. So a lot of my action shots are not close-ups of players faces.
