“A Photographer’s Guide to Section 2257″ provides to the photographers a clear, readable and complete analysis of §2257 (USA), its statutes, and the regulations.
In the USA, the “Section 2257 law” dates from 1995. In recent months photographers have realized that it applies to photographers of the nude, to fashion photographers, to glamour photographers – to explicit nudity or subjects of eroticism or sexuality.
Effective March 18, 2009, Section 2257 expands via a new statute, §2257A, to encompass simulated activity and the entirely new “lascivious exhibition of genitals or the pubic area.”
