Question
I am a professional photographer and wanted to know if it is permissible on Chol Hamoed to photograph my nephew for a Halake photoshoot (without payment). Is this prohibited from a halachic perspective? Thank you very much and happy holidays.
Answer
Shalom Rav
The work of a craftsman is prohibited on the Moed unless it is for the needs of the festival. Therefore, professional photography of a Halake is prohibited.
Happy holidays.
