New Photography Contest!

Journal Entry: Mon May 24, 2010, 6:53 PM

Contest Info


That's right, photography contest time. With subscriptions as always! Thanks again to everyone that participated (entered, offered to feature the winners) in my previous contests! It's you guys that make these happen. :)

I was originally going to make the theme macro again, but decided to change things up and go with...
People photography!

So, what am I looking for? People, a person, part of a person (that's right, an eye can count!), a profile, a silhouette- whatever you come up with, as long as there is something human in it. However, I don't want to see quick snapshots; I want to see something original, something that you put effort into: art. I want something that captures a feeling, a personality, a concept; or maybe just high fashion. Whatever it is, I want it to be your best. :)

I'm willing to feature the winners and promote the contest in my journal. I'm not sure how much it would help, considering I'm not insanely popular here, but I'd like to pitch in. :D

Sounds nice, since I have a bit of time left before deadline I'll spend the next month looking for subjects to do a nice little summer photo project with and send the best things in for this then.

Got a question that's kind of unrelated but still.
Not sure where to find the answer, so I'll just ask someone who should know I figure.
What kind of laws govern who can be a model, I'm thinking mainly in terms of age?

Most naked photography there are disclaimers saying all models are above 18.
Is this just some law regulating pictures regarding nudes or is it an encompassing law for any photos when it comes to art.

I.e is there any issues involved in using a younger than 18 model?
both 'regular' and 'nude' shoots, and what would be considered nude if that's special case?

This feels like a case where common sense might not really apply and also I just like knowing details even if it doesn't apply to me directly.

Any nude photography of minors (under 18) is considered child pornography, and is therefore illegal. Simple photographs (portraits, etc.) of minors, however, should be just fine as long as its clearly consented and there is no implied nudity or sexuality.

If you need details, just try searching it on google, you should have no trouble finding information. :)

heh.. That's a very vague and easy to interpret differently rule.
"no implied nudity or sexuality"

Thank you anyway, it was as I figure.
I assume this is for america (which I assume this site falls under).

Wow! I'm really excited! I'll really have to put some thought into this. I'd love to try. Whether I win or not, I'm going to have fun with this. I love doing portraits of people.
