PHOTOSHOOTS IN A COVID-19 WORLD

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WORK SAFELY TOGETHER ON SET?

Covid-19 has forced us to rethink what a normal set will look like. Any photoshoot is a beautiful ballet of producers, photographers, stylists, techs, grips, assistants, etc. - each playing a large role in the end goal of beautiful and impactful images. It goes without saying that my team and I will do what it takes to prepare and to execute any safety precautions necessary to ensure that everyone’s safety is held in high regard. Moving forward, as productions begin to start up, I want to outline how my team and I plan to work safely and efficiently during this pandemic.

As an artist and a professional, my goal is still to create impactful and beautiful content to be captured for brands. With that said the safety of my clients and crew will be considered a priority. Each shoot will be assessed for level of risk, and suggestions for risk mitigation will be made.

Thank you for your patience as we maneuver through this new way of doing business!

note: my team includes Prop Stylist & Assistant

PREP

  • Meetings - all will be completed via email, phone call, or video chat. If a scout is necessary, all remote methods will be attempted first.

  • Estimates - along with day rates, prop estimates, and any other hard fees associated with the job, I will include costs for any additional PPE outside of what is standard. The need for additional PPE is dependent on the scope of the job.

  • Prop Sourcing - my team will adhere to retail and prop rental policies set forth by each business. As businesses begin to reopen, purchase and return policies will vary.

  • Products / Props from Company - Anything shipped from the company must be shipped with enough lead time for our team to process and clean before shoot day.

SHOOT DAY(S)

  • Crew Size - crews should be limited to only those necessary. Clients will be advised to be on set remotely to limit contact. Any associated costs for remote access to the shoot will be part of the estimate/proposal.

  • PPE - my team will be equipped with what I refer to as standard PPE (personal face masks, face shields, gloves, hand sanitizer, and sanitizing wipes).

  • Load In time - Within reason, a separate load in period from the rest of the crew is requested.

  • Load out time - Within reason, a separate load out period from the rest of the crew is requested.

WRAP

  • Prop Returns - Our team will adhere to retail and prop rental policies set forth by each business. As businesses begin to reopen, purchase and return policies will vary.
