Working with 16 to 18 yr old clothing models

[crataegustess]

I'm planning a shoot for a customer's website showing off new teen clothing collections (not underwear or nightwear). The customer has hit on the idea of asking local sixth form students to pose as she wants an 'ordinary person' look (and to save money).

I've never worked with young models before, is there any litigation I need to be aware of or 'gotcha' pitfalls?

Many thanks in advance for any feedback

Make sure you have parents present plus get a signed release form, signed by parent.

check you don't need a disclosure from the police for working with young people

I wouldn't risk working with under 18's in any way, shape or form. Get uni students instead!!
