Hi

I am delighted and thrilled to have been asked to shoot my first 'for hire' occasion after a friend recommended me having seen some photos I took at a party recently.

I have been asked to shoot an 'Under 18's' football league presentation evening. As I understand it the presentation evening will be held in a function room of sorts, perhaps like a scout hut or hotel conference room. Basically, somewhere 'non-public'.

I am concerned about the legal aspects of photographing people Under 18.

I want to check with you guys what the legal position is? If I get permission from the event organiser, in writing, is that enough or do I have to gain permission from every parent in the room!!? What else should I be aware of?

Thanks

Ted
