Q: Can a photographer be sued for doing non sexual photoshoot of minor without parental consent inside the minor's home?
Did a non sexual, harmless fashion photoshoot of a minor inside their house without parental consent. Now they are threatening to file lawsuit. Should I be worried?
A:
Are you sure this is a copyright question? What are they threatening to sue you for? What were doing inside their house with a minor without their consent? All of the facts must be spelled out in detail. How do you know it was harmless? That may not be for you to decide. You could potentially have quite a problem. Get the facts and see an attorney.

Best to call a local attorney, since minors can't enter contracts. From this message, the photos seem to be for commercial purpose, or have been released, without permission.
