I found this question so interesting that I actually took the time to research it. Unfortunately it's a little bit of a gray area. While the photographer DOES have the right to video the girl because she has no expectation of privacy, she does have the expectation not to be sexually harrassed. I.E. Goober King had purposely moved to be behind her as she is bent over and waiting for, I assume, to raise her leg and get a crotch shot.
It`s a gray area because while there are laws against "up-skirt" shots, she is raising her leg to make the shot possible. But she is doing it doing a ballet dance move, not a provocative move in public.
It was fascinating to find out that if you`re out in public someone can still photograph you (or your child) after you tell them to stop. But notice the Mom said, "Don`t take a photo of her butt!" not HER. So I really do think it becomes an issue of sexual harrasment, since he put up an argument and MOVED to get tha

Yeah, it's creepy what that guy is doing, but she is out in public doing leg lifts and spreading it out there, job or not. If they did not want to be seen/filmed/photographed they should have done this on a closed set and used photoshop. Sorry, but you`re in public. Too bad.

ryanwi, the model was obviously creeped out by it. although I am surprised she didn't say something (or the photographer for that matter, he kept directing her). at the same time, if the vid guy had the right to shoot her, then everyone else who told him not to shoot her butt/crotch were also within their rights to do so. as jeffcomedy already stated, the older woman told him not to take a vid of her butt, not necessarily the model herself. on a courtesy note, the guy didn`t have to be a dick about it, I`m sure he has access to plenty of porn at home, why go through the trouble?
