I'm sure many of you have heard about the ruling allowing people to simulate child abuse using fictional children which are created by using ai images of kids uploaded online. It's disgusting that anyone would do this, but people like this have been around for centuries and not enough of them are in prison or otherwise.... Okay I'm not going down that rabbit hole...
I'm not going to say I'm going to stop sharing kids pictures online, but what all of my clients know is that there's a section in their contract that asks them how I'm allowed to use their pictures. There are many who choose to not have their pictures used in any capacity and even if it makes me look like I have very little business, I respect that and it's in the contract so it is binding and they have protection.
I'm an artist, but I'm also hired by clients and will respect their privacy no matter how much I want to cry because it's such an amazing portrait or moment.
Here's my kiddo enjoying our beach vacation.
