Resumption of the bookings from 25th of May: What bookings will I accept?

As the government has slowly started to introduce the easing of the UK lockdown rules and has encouraged businesses to resume trading, more businesses are starting to reopen, yet implementing strict guidelines that will help to protect their employees from catching and/or passing on the virus.

Taking into account the current situation with the pandemic and having carefully assessed the government's advice, this is what I have considered doing for my own modelling business:

- I will start taking bookings from the 25th of May. 

- The bookings I am available to accept are the ones that can be shot from my home studio ONLY. Due to the fact that I do not drive, I want to minimise the use of public transport, and therefore, will not yet travel to a studio/or other location. If you are on PurplePort, you can see more photos of my home studios and example pictures taken in this space HERE. 

- The regular rates apply. There is no extra charge for the use of space. See my website or click to view my portfolio for more information.

- During the shoot, distancing rules MUST apply. This means if you were considering to shoot with a lens that requires less than 2 meters distance between the model and the photographer, unfortunately, I will have to decline your booking.

- Hand sanitiser will be provided upon the arrival to the studio.

- The studio will be cleaned and sanitised to my best efforts after every shoot.

- Outdoors locations will only be possible if they are within 15 mins walking distance from my studio. As I have great knowledge in surrounding areas, I will be able to suggest a plan of action in detail upon your shoot proposal. 


What you need to do:

- You need to be able to drive to my studio. I would not want to put you at risk of getting public transport and then also coming into my flat to shoot.

- Provide with a mood board of ideas and confirm your booking by submitting a deposit (this procedure applies as regular).

- You need to have NO SYMPTOMS of any sort of cold. I would have to cancel the shoot if you arrive even slightly unwell.

- Please bring your own lighting equipment.



If you are satisfied with the above and happy to adhere to these rules, please do not hesitate to contact me via email, Instagram or just a DM on PurplePort as I have plenty of availability. 

I apologise in advance that it has to be this formal, but the least I can do as a business is to take responsibility in my actions and adhere to guidelines too.

Hope to hear from you soon!
