Clients and models
Social distance of at least 3 meter. should be maintained between non-household individuals unless participating in activities permitted under large-scale social restrictions (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar) PSBB guidelines.
Everyone on set will wear a mask, except for the person being photographed, but only while they are being photographed and no one is allowed within 3 meter of them while they are not wearing a mask. This includes any one adjusting clothing or lighting. All of those physical adjustments will be made before the mask is removed.
We will you no-touch posing methods.
Because WHO rules says people shall “wear face coverings over their nose and mouth when within 3 meter. of others” and “Social distance of at least 3 meter. should be maintained between non-household individuals” this makes it impossible to take photos of two or more people who reside in different households.
All shoots are by appointment only and you have to arrive promptly because if you’re late, there might not be enough time to do the shoot and clean before the next client.
No Physical Greetings. Do not shake hands or greet others in any manner that requires physical contact (such as fist or elbow bumps). In the “new normal” this is considered polite, not rude.
Makeup artists are able to work in the studio, because WHO rules say if personal care (hair & makeup) services require the client to remove his or her mask, then the provider must wear both a face mask and eye protection (e.g., face shield, protective glasses).
