It begins well before 18, and ends well after it. "18" cannot be considered the end of, or the start of anything in terms of human development. This is why my work covers this entire spectrum. Some of my models might be 16. Some others might be 21. It's about documenting the continuum between them. A beautiful girl at 18 is not a separate thing from a beautiful girl at 15.

Thats an interesting way of looking at it
I can't comment on what these sites have or have not got inside as I havent looked, but if they alledgedly associate themselves with photographers who exploit the trust of a minor, surely that is guilty by association.
I live in Europe and I can put my hand on my heart and say, any picture of a naked child whether she is 5 or 15 would turn my stomach.
Yes, there may not be much difference between a 15 year old and an 18 year old physically, but mentally and emotionally, they are a world apart. I dont care if it is legal in some countries
