‘The ethical issues and paranoia surrounding the laws of photographing children in today’s society are confusing and somewhat farcical. But at what point will the photography of children be completely forbidden?’ This is the question posed by Class Portrait, a collaborative photographic project by Kingston University graduate designers Anna Brooks and Samantha Harvey. Class Portrait was awarded Best in New Blood and a 2nd prize pencil in this year’s D&AD student awards in London.

I agree with issue, however I find this will never end. There is to large of a demand for from clothe makers, TV ads, print media; and parents living through their child.
Being an artist and always looking for difference subject matters. It’s hard to not want to you kids as my subject, I have two kids of my own. Watching them interact with friends and relatives, are priceless moments.
Of course there is a line that should not be crossed, we all wish that we would do right. Unfortunately reality is this, this is why we have cops and lawyers & courts, that is real.
