Hi Im looking to take a few photos of a model in a few weeks, she is rather young and said she cant get anyone to come along as a chaperone. My wife will be at home but probably in the house ( I will be in the back shed ( sounds as nice as it is too :))
Should I set up a video recorder to cover my ass? (figuratively not literally)
Im guessing I need to tell her that its there, no reason not to thou.
Do I need to get her to sign off about the taping & how long would I need to keep the tape?
She is 17, I thought the tape would 'prove' nothing nasty happend,
It would prove nothing nasty happened in front of the camera, while it was on. It won't prove that nothing nasty happened while the camera was off or out o view.
Probably not worth it. If it were me, I'd demand an adult accompany her. I won't shoot anyone under 18 w/o parental consent and an adult escort. It's just too easy now to get into trouble even if you did absolutely nothing. Even if you are proven innocent, one false charge can ruin your life.
Your right, I know your right, Im just keen to get some shoots under my belt and in my portfolio. Its just a TFP shoot so I'll put her off till we can find someone to come with her.
