If you expect to be late, notify the group or event coordinator as soon as possible. Late arrivals can disrupt the schedule and affect other participants.

Professional Conduct & Respect

All participants are expected to treat each other with professionalism, courtesy, and respect at all times.

Everyone comes from different backgrounds and experience levels. Please communicate thoughtfully and remember that what may seem harmless to one person may not be comfortable for another.

Treat others as you would want your own friends or family members to be treated.

Photographer Direction & Conduct

Photographers should communicate clearly and respectfully when directing models.

  • Provide guidance in a constructive and professional manner.

  • Avoid comments about a model’s body unless directly related to posing or the image being created.

  • If you are unsure whether a pose may make someone uncomfortable, ask first.

  • Models always have the right to decline a pose or idea.

Successful collaboration happens when everyone feels comfortable and respected.

Photographers must not touch models.

If an adjustment is required:

  1. First ask the model to adjust the item themselves.

  3. As a last resort, adjustments may only occur with clear consent and in the presence of a third party.
