Question

is it legal to video record high school students of both genders during school portrait photography sessions for surveilance reasons by the photographer on a seperate recording device? also, who would be held responsible, the photog, or the company he/she works for?



Answer

It's legal to video record. It's not legal to audio record unless the subjects are aware they are being audio recorded or otherwise consent. If the audio recording is illegal, the person who does the recording, not the company, would probably be criminally responsible, though I guess the prosecution could charge the company with a crime as well.
