Legal Question in Administrative Law in New York
Photo Studio Limitations/Restrictions
Hello, i'm professional fashion photographer and have a photo studio in midtown manhattan /NY. Most of my clients are independent models and modeling agencies. I�m working with magazines and fashion companies. A lot of times I received calls from �escort agencies� or �independent escort� to take sexy, erotic, nude photos, but i never did business with them, simply replying that we are not �THAT TYPE OF PHOTOSTUDIO�. But lately fashion business kind a slow and I�m trying to expand my services to stay in business. A lot of my friend�s photographers, take �escort� jobs without making a big deal of it. But i don�t feel secure if I don�t know FOR SURE that whole thing is LEGAL.
Please let me know if there is any laws saying that photostudio in NYC can not do erotic or nude photography? If it�s legal, is there any restrictions? or limitation? or special paperwork need to be done? or license to be issued?
Thanks,
