2257 and foreign models

aquariusphotos · 06-24-2005

With the new law in effect I have stopped shooting foreign models (Brazilians and Canadians in my case). This is a no brainer unless the law is ammended. However, what are the larger producers doing about this to continue doing business in foreign countries (for instance Red Light District shoots a lot in Brazil)? Can you hire a Brazilian to keep records in Brazil? Work with another photographer in that country and designate him as the promary producer? And what about the content shot before June 23, 2005 since the non acceptamce of foreign government ID could not have been known prior to May, 2005?

I have beautiful Canadian models (30 minutes away) unable to work in the USA anymore. Too bad.
