Photoshoot safety 101: how to protect yourself
📣📣I am especially talking to the ladies in the house.
If you ain't a lady and you ain't dealing with people taking advantage of you on shoots and on photo shoots, you can just go.
Bye. Bye.
Okay, so if you're still left here and you're a young lady, I'm going to let you know, this is Auntie Crystal here trying to protect you trying to make sure you're safe.
I will say until I'm blue in the face.
Please interview people that are taking photo shoots with if you're a model if you're a photographer,
if you're a creative don't just get a DM on Instagram and assume they're safe -show up in their Airbnb their-hotel- their car- their Uber whatever.
Please protect yourself always say hey,”can I bring a friend?”
get a wing girl!
That is just going to come with you to all these things maybe a “makeup artist” maybe a “stylist” maybe a “agent” that's going to come with you to these shoots.
You do not want to get taken advantage of and hurt on a shoot
always FaceTime people
do reference checks.
Ask for references.
Like it's a job interview.
We're going to get down to the brass tacks guys.
We need to get that detailed
protect yourselves
Protect your mental energy and protect our body.
I never work with anybody that's outside of my network.
Unless I do a full FaceTime chat with them,
maybe a meeting in person
a meeting in a public place first to get their vision.
Or a FaceTime chat that we talk about it
❤️❤️if I’m going to shoot with them.
It's going to be in a public place or it's going to be on my own property where I have chaperones.
I have my family.
I have my husband
don't be doing crazy stuff —-meeting-people in the middle of Alleyway’s abandoned buildings all this stuff that I'm seeing.
Be safe out there.
Much love. Stay creative
Protect yourself? Okay.
