Performance Art Photography
Studio/Shoot Policy
December 2010
The following policies have been created and implemented with several years of studio shooting and education experience(s). There are also Salem State University rules listed as well, as the studio used is at the University. Please know that with all this experience and too many shoots to count, these rules/policies must be followed in order to ensure a safe, successful, and enjoyable experience.
It is the goal of PAP (Performance Art Photography) to produce the highest quality of photography utilizing state of the art equipment, software, and extensive knowledge in the photography field.
If there are any questions regarding the following please do not hesitate to discuss with the photographer. Your respect for these rules and cooperation is much appreciated.
No children are allowed in the studio at any time…this is NOT negotiable (the studio is not safe for little ones).
All electronic devices must be turned off and put away during your shoot.
No visitors/spectators are allowed to accompany you unless discussed and approved by the photographer prior to your shoot date. If approved, they can only be there as SILENT observers.
All hair and makeup (aside from quick touch-ups) must be done prior to your shoot time.
Clothes/costumes may be changed into at the studio…quickly.
No eating, smoking, or drinking (except for occasional water sips) is allowed in the studio.
Occasional “breaks” during your shoot will be done at your request.
No animals are allowed unless approved by the photographer.

You MUST sign a Model Release prior to your shoot.
A draft of your “story” must be given to the photographer prior to your shoot.
Absolutely no cameras of any kind (including camera phones are allowed in the studio by you and/or your guest(s).
Any questions and/or comments about your shoot must be discussed prior to the shoot.
These rules come from many, many experiences in the studio. Please understand that the style of PAP is direct connection with the subject. Any distractions such as phones, blackberry’s, conversation w/guest(s), etc., really has an adverse effect on the photographer and the shooting experience in general. PAP depends upon your undivided attention during the shoot in order to produce extraordinary poses, and shots.
The lighting done during, “The Mystic Women of Salem” project are original, difficult, and would take a very experienced/seasoned photographer to try and re-produce. PAP is very protective of these techniques/styles of lighting. This is why there are absolutely no cameras allowed at any time.
Please be aware that these shoots are VERY technical. Working with high tech equipment and manipulating various forms of energy and lighting is complex and requires much attention from the photographer. Although PAP definitely wants your experience to be an enjoyable one, please know that there will be times when the photographer is pre-occupied and deep in thought. The photographer will let you know when a moment of silence is required.
