Some photographers shoot nudes, sexually explicit, and/or erotic photographs. If so, your work may come under the purview of a law known as "section 2257." This law imposes some strict obligations that must be followed to avoid fines and penalties, including prison.
Officially known as 18 U.S.C. Section 2257, this federal law imposes name and age verification, recordkeeping, and labeling requirements on producers of visual depictions of actual human beings engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct. Likewise, 18 U.S.C. Section 2257A, which went into effect on March 18, 2009, imposes name and age verification, recordkeeping, and labeling requirements on producers of visual depictions of actual human beings engaged in simulated sexually explicit conduct.
