I have a problem,
a girl ask me to take lingerie pictures from her, but she is below 18.
What is the minimum age for taking lingerie pictures?

Personally i do not think it is illegal to take lingerie pictures of girls under 18 in the u.s i know several gilrs under 18 that feel ok to shoot in it and it all obeys by the law. If you do not feel right shooting her than do not go with your gut feeling.

well am not sure but here in jamaica the age of concent is 16 so u must know what to do if its 18 where u r.

you are a pervert!!!! Of course it is illegal to take lingere pictures under the age of consent which is 18 or 21 in US states. Otherwise, Mom and Dad must consent. Get yourself a blow-up doll, and some walmart underwear, and leave the CHILDREN alone!

I agree completely with Barb Givens! I think it is wrong!!! My little sister is trying to get some exposure on this website and had a male photagrapher suggest lingerie pictures for her(she is 10 yrs old)... We are in the US and it does matter not just legally but personally to a lot of people and myself included!

Learn to read first, then you can reply.

I did not suggest her, she ask me!
There is a difference but i don't know if you can understand it.
And, there is also a difference between lingerie and underwear.
But i agree, even underwear is not a good start.
But, i guess underwear is legal, otherwise all the mail order stores must do illegal business.

Plain and simple if your worried read the laws in your state i do know that it is not illegal to shoot under 18 in lingerie because if you look at several professiona sites that are under 18 there are 10-15 year olds shooting in under wear and lingerie. The parents are always there and they do not mind wither because it is not illegal some states it might be, but id brush up on some law.

Strictly speaking, in the US 18 U.S.C. § 2251 only refers to naked pictures of children under 18. Although even young adults in lingerie who are sexualised could lead to a trip to court.

In the UK, Sex Offences Act 2003 section 45, is more tougher than US law and images that can be implied to be sexual are illegal.

When photographing minors you should really have a proper contract drawn up by an attorney to be signed by a parent/guardian and witnessed. The other problem is with the resale of pictures or licensing them out before you ever sell the pictures make sure that you limit the amount of exposure that the picture will be given and that there are no re-sale rights on the picture.

Parents will not co-operate with you if they are unsure that the photographs could end up anywhere on the internet.

Always have an adult family member with you during the shoot and make sure that the photographs are focused on the model rather than breasts or genitals. Extra care should be taken with lighting so that it doesn't unintentionally make sensitive areas stand out.

Child photography does raise peoples emotions, the sexual exploitation of children is a very sad and painful things for the victims and I do appreciate why some of the other posters have strong opinions.

The law in Germany is very tight now.

Even a nude picture of a adult who prepared to look like under 18 years old can lead you to the court.

If i have a underage model I always ask the parents to join the shooting.
No matter is it portrait or fashion.
I just feel better if I have the parents with me, so there can no complain after.

And for sure, I also have my team as witness with me.

@Ralf yes - The Jugendschutzgesetz which came into German law last November 2008 mirrors UK law - so that pictures which look like children and are sexual are illegal.

So, at the end, a David Hamilton would send to jail today.

Usually the same as the min age for sexual consent - 18 in majority EU states or here where I live its legal for 14 & 15 year olds to model lingerie with a parent/guardian over 18 present at the shoot! I know a photog that were on here as a member that did a lingerie shoot with a 14 yr old last week, the girls mum was there so o.k. under our laws but check up on local laws first! maybe you just need the mother there with her?
:saint:

Thailand may be more lax than other areas, but Ralf does have a point about sales. It all depends on what the girl is after. If she wants to do catalog stuff, so have examples for her portfolio, then even underwear can be modestly presented with style.

On the other hand, if she is trying to get sexy shots of herself done, then you would be crazy to do them in today's climate. Even if they are done in a tolerant country, if they get broadcast on the net and they are objectionable in other countries, you might easily find yourself in legal jeopardy.
If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!

Thanks Charles,
i was waiting for some opinion from the more experienced photographers.
And i did not expect if i ask a serious question i get accused for child molesting.

Well, it might sounds strange, but the rules in Thailand are very strict.
And some that is tolerated in other countries is a no no in Thailand.

The kind of pictures would fit for a portfolio.
And even could be shown here too.

age of consent for lingerie modeling varies from country to country and upon parental guidance in some countrys believe it or not not all countrys require this ie romania philipines and such.. if your not sure do a google search and there is plenty of consent sites for all countrys good luck.. and be safe...

i dont know this. but i think if she will do it is ok. or not?
my parents dont alowed me naked pics, but other pics with clothes on is ok
