Title: Hiring a 2nd photographer: age and forms
Post by: AYA on March 25, 2015, 13:53

Hi everyone,
I am looking to hire a 2nd photographer for some of my shoots. Is there anyone using a reliable form so that the 2nd shooter can transfer the copyright of their images?
Also, I think I might have found someone good but she is  17 years old; is it a problem to have a minor sign such documents?
If there is existing threads or ressources on the subject, please share the link.

Thank you!

:)

You can't really sign contracts with minors with few exceptions. Google is your friend.

FYI

Question: Can I Enter into a Contract with a Minor?

The short answer to this question is, "Yes, but be aware that the minor can get out of the contract." Most contracts with minors aren't upheld by a court.
