Nudity alone isn't what determines whether a 2257 is required or not, but rather the intended use of the pictures. Nudism books, such as one will find on Amazon, B&N, etc, often have no 2257s on file and depict people of all ages, including minors, in the nude.

Digress a bit, but point is that it's how the pictures are posed / intended use that determines whether one needs a 2257 ... based on what you've described, in my view, you need to ensure all models, even those fully clothed, are of legal age and have 2257s for all of them.

With all that said, definitely consult with an attorney experienced with the adult business before hiring any models, let alone shooting any content.

Thats a very good explanation... and legally correct.
