Standard Shooting Practices

  • Please be on time. Most of the shoots take a long time and being punctual guarantees we don’t have to rush or skip some aspects.
  • Alcohol and drugs are not allowed prior nor during the shoot. This is to guarantee sobriety in decisions and also better skin and eye colors in pictures.
  • The model is allowed (and encouraged) to bring a chaperon along with her/him provided that they are comfortable doing the shoot with that person present and that the invitee is not a distraction from the mood of the shoot; this rule is especially valid for nude and intimate sessions where the model might feel safer having someone they trust come along.
  • Try and get a good night’s sleep at least the night before the shoot, ideally for several nights before the shoot.
  • The choice of clothes to bring to a shoot should be discussed prior to the shoot but there’s no such thing as too much clothing; unless the shoot requires a specific mood, feel free to introduce your own touch and bring what you think would make you look more you.
  • Avoid using very reflective makeup. Anything with an SPF rating is a hard no as it does not mix well with flash lighting.
  • The choice of how many people are to be on set is going to be asked in advance and both the model and the photographer have to agree on the final list. In most cases, we will aim to have 2 photographers on set in addition to the person that the model might want to include.
  • Please provide us with an emergency-contact number in case of unforeseen circumstances.
  • We provide shower and changing facilities with towels and necessities.
