Well, tread softly!. Otherwise you can get branded really quick!. You might talk to the guy privately and let him know you are working at being a professional photographer-- and show him some photos of other people you have taken already,!. that will show him you are serious and not just hitting on him!. Then let him know you'd like to include him in your portfolio!. But you'll probably need to offer him a bit of money to do it!. May even want to take the fully clothed shots first, then a couple of weeks later, show them to him and ask if he'll do some more modeling, including underwear!. You probably will also want to provide him with copies he can have, in case he is interested in doing some modeling, as he will need a portfolio too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I am sure he would be a little suspicious of your intentions!. Especially if you mention to him right away that you need underwear shots!. A lot of 17 yr old males may think there are homosexual undertones in your request!.
Where will these shots be taken!? At a studio or in your basement!? If they are taken in studio, he may feel more willing to sit for the photos!.
You must clarify to him that your intentions are nothing but professional!. You must allow him to help choose the pictures you will use, or at least be a part of the process!. You must not use the pics for any other purpose but your portfolio!. You may want to consider drawing up a contract between the two of you stating all this!.
Understand that your request for semi nude pics may be over the top for a first sitting!. Try gaining his trust with fully clothed pics first!. If the sitting goes well, you can so another sitting with him and tell him what you want at that time!.

Ask him and see if he will go along with the underwear shots but I really doubt he would agree!. Maybe you should find somebody over 18 to take those underwear shots just in case you don't want to infringe some possible state and federal indecency laws!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
he's underage
it could be argued that it is pornography
child pornography is a criminal offenceWww@Answer-Health@Com
