Shooting young models

[Phranquey]

Hell I am only 30 and I dont remember 16 year olds and 17 years olds lookin like that !

Whew....I'm glad other people see this....I didn't want to say it. :blushing:

I'm 39, and my stepson is 18 and just graduated. Whenever he would bring over friends for pool parties, I would have to head back into the house......I felt like the proverbial dirty old man. They weren't built like that 20 years ago, and they wore a bit more cloth around a swimming pool.

Here's a girl I shot today. She's 18. I won't shoot less than 18... or I haven't I should say. I don't know if I would do it even with a parent... it just seems creepy.

This is a great looking girl, very sweet too.

I really like #1.

I am a fan of wide angle.... But.... The way her proportions look at that angle (2 & 3) remind me of a charicature bobblehead.

:shock: Cuff me now... I can't believe girls look like that at that age!

I raised three girls and at 16 they all looked like that. By "look like that" I assume you are referring to their (ahem!) size.

I wasn't even talking specifically about those, I meant in general. She's gorgeous from head to toe!

I know! If I were a bouncer at a bar I probably wouldn't card her... hell, I'd probably hit on her. I can't believe she's 16 and that fully developed. Not normal at all and scary!

When's the last time you've been to the mall?

...They all look like that now.

Ok...I admit to knowing but I didn't want to come off as a pervert that checks out all the girls...haha

You MUST read The Sensuous Dirty Old Man by Isaac Asimov. If you can find a copy.

Sounds like my dad...:lmao:

would you think to ask for ID?

I always get a photo of their driver's license. Started doing it after the first few years when someone asked me how old a model was, and how I knew (my answer at the time was that she told me.)

Wow, what an EASY way to potentially get tossed in jail and add in general to the mayhem surrounding the already bad press photographers already have.

This sunday, I have a shoot with 5 models... you can bet your house that I *already* have signed model releases and copies of driver's licenses. I'm adding a 4X6 head shot that will be added to the folder of each model.

On top of this, this is not even a paid shoot, just a TFP (Trade For Photos), and we have makeup artists and hairdressers in on the whole deal just to have some fun... still I would never even consider not having them all sign a waiver and if underage... sorry, not interested... unless you bring your mom or dad to the session.

Personally, I am at the age now where I see that hooter size alone doesn't make someone a mature adult or a woman. I will shoot anyone at any age from baby to geriatrics... but when it comes to minors, I want model releases signed by the parents AND the models and I want a parent in attendance. If a parent or a close relative like an uncle or aunt cannot come along, I will not take the shoot.

It is embarrassing to say, but I turned down my first chance to do a very heavy boudoire session becuase the model was 17 and did not want to sign a waiver nor have her parent there. She felt that because she was old enough to get married that the law concerning minors no longer concerned her. Wrong! I refused the job... referred her to another photographer who is JUST as adamant on waiver signings and parent being in attendance. Hopefully she will get the idea that she has a little ways to go before she is LEGALLY able to have nude pictures taken of her without her parent's consent.

"...Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter..."

 

[UUilliam]

Hey 16 is legal
I find it so stupid...

over here:
16 you can have sex,
"A boy of any age is not prohibited in law from having sex with a female provided she is sixteen or over." in otherwords am ale is legally allowed to have sex when he is 12 if he wants? but a female needs to be 16...
Have a kid,
Drink Cider WITH A MEAL
Join the army, Be arrested
get married
Be charged for dental treatment (NHS over here we pay tax's which pay for dental treatment yet we need to pay...)
Pay adult price on bus' trains etc...
we can drive a glider
change our name
YET
we cannot:
Drink, Smoke, Drive, Watch porn, Star in porn or shoot porn or sell Booze....

I think id rather my kid watch porn than have sex tbh...
