Personally I think this is crazy and if it is true then it's typical of
the paranoia that is gripping the world.
Next we won't be able to photograph our own kids.
In the US, senior photography is still a big business and I think if my
pamphlet showed 30-yr-old women jumping around with pom poms in a short
skirt, it might be a just a little weird.
Anyway, the parents have consented verbally.
I just want it in writing.

Subject: a simple model release
Where can I get a simple but effective model release for a minor?
I shot some high school kids in the studio for a brochure I'm making to
promote senior portraits and I want parents to sign off on them.
Who's got experience with this stuff? The ASMP one seems a tad too
complex and may scare off the parents.
