UPS sucks. I recently had a check sent to me overnight thru UPS. The day it was supposed to arrive, I called the sender to get a tracking number. Well UPS had misrouted it across the country.... I wish this was the first and only time that happened.

One contrary or limiting view. If you follow all the possible paranoid procedures suggested you may as well give up photography. If you are to become professional you'll have to work out a system that works for your clients as well as you and if it's too cumbersome you'll soon have no clients. With a minor I think it should be mandatory to have a parent or parents present and have a release. The only other think I'd advise is meeting with the parents and model and go over the ground rules for the shoot and for how you'll handle the images after so you'll all be comfortable with what they want and want you can do. That would always be good for client relations and should overcome almost any attack on you later. Then just concentrate on getting the best pictures you can so you can start charging for your work. Good luck!

I agree 100% with this. If you are having trouble with this shoot, then I can’t imagine when you get a client that is really demanding.

I do this all the time. I always:
1) have a release signed by the parents
2) deal directly with the parent.
3) have all wardrobe and concepts approved by the parent
4) the parent is always present during the shoot.

I’ve done maybe 20+ shoots for minors and have never had an issue. Sometimes you can overthink some things.

Richard Avedon did his amazing work 'In The American West' with almost all natural light. He used a white backdrop attached to a wall or vehicle and used an 8 x 10 camera. I don't know what his settings were, but his results were awesome. There is a ton of info about his techniques available.
