No, because children can't give informed consent.
(God, that was quick. Succinct too.)
What about someone who is old enough to choose for him or herself, such as a child that is 17 y/o for example?
Not a child in reality.
you need to be more age specific, when you say children...
I'd say 16 and over is OK, provided that the subject is fully aware of what they're participating in. Did you have a particular kind of 'artistic' photography in mind? Can you say what the purpose of taking the photographs is, ie what will be done with them? Or is the question more general than that?Again, see first post. When I say chidlren, i am referring to minors under the age of 18.

Since it is too broad and ill defined as to context, I'll say no.
*its a sting operation, idoit*
Well?Much more general. I posted this question because I came across an interesting portfolio the other day that contained children in the nude. I myself see no problem with it. The contents of the photo's where completely non-sexual, mainly just emphasizing on the beauty of the natural human body. This particular portfolio had not just just children but adults alike. Overall, I believe it to be acceptable as long as there is no sexual connotation, or anything related to the sort.
LoL? What? Seems someone's a bit paranoid. Got a guilty conscience or something? lol Just pickin on ya samcdkey. And I will agree that I was pretty specific on this issue and its contents.
Does it matter? Are you implying that it's ok for "art buffs" to perv over kiddies but the rest of us can't?And no its not specific enough for me. To whom is this "art" directed? What is the purpose of this "art"?
