I walked over to the tripod, adjusted the camera slightly to focus clearly on her face, and then pointed a finger directly at the lens.
"You said this was for your portfolio, which means it's content for my studio," I continued. "Under federal law, I need to complete the 2257 verification process right now on camera, while the evidence is fresh. This is non-negotiable."
I looked directly at her. "For the camera, Dickslayer, state your full legal name, Lisa Rhodes, confirm you are over the age of eighteen, and confirm you willingly consented to this entire recording for commercial use by Digital Media Holdings LLC. Say it clearly."
Her triumphant smile faltered for the first time. The shift from pleasure to paperwork was jarring, but she was a professional. She took a deep breath, looked straight into the camera lens, and recited the necessary legal words in a clear, strong voice.
Once she finished, I hit the 'stop' button.
