I will not be posting any photograph of a nude or topless female that the age may be questioned, even if there is a photographers copy right on the image. The reason is two fold, one not to offend, and two, after researching the laws on nude photography in the US, I have come away more confused than I was when I started. While photographing a minor nude in a non sexual setting is legal, it is controversial, I point to the pictures of Brooke Shield nude at ten and her portrayal of a child prostitute at the age of twelve. Granted, Pretty Baby would probably not get made today, the book Age of Innocence by David Hamilton features underage nude girls and is available in all states. The Age of Innocence [Unknown format] [Hardcover] David Hamilton (Photographer) It boils down to photography of underage girls is not illegal but is controversial, and considering the niche barely legal models, could be avoided all together. Finally, in my research, I have come across court rulings that are as varied as the pictures themselves concerning what is explicit display of genitalia and what isnt. Anyway, I apologize for the offending photos and they will stop.
