:No, there is no law against photographing childred in the
nude, if there were every parant who snapped thier children in
the bath (and who has not? could be prosicuted. The issue is
nudity in a sexual context. Most of the people who indulge in the
questionable activities you hint at but do not spell out hide
behind the old and well used "art" defense. Here a
whole can of worms opens up, what is art and what is pornography?
Like most laws there are as many opinions as you can shake a
stick at. If this was not so we would never need lawers!! This is
a complicated and highly charged area, I have no intent here to
defend or attack anybody. It is just a too sensitive subject.

It is illegal to photo children in the nude?
: And if so how do so many photographers get away with
: it?
