Etiquette
Article Submitted By: The TMB TEAM
The photographic modelling industry is a very small world. You’re reputation is paramount to your success. Repeat bookings can be your most reliable source of revenue. Therefore, use common sense. Exercise general good manners as you would in any other industry

Here are our basic rules of etiquette:

1. Always treat your work colleagues, clients and associates with consideration and respect.

2. Be aware of your responsibilities and be prepared. There is no excuse for a makeup artist turning up to a shoot and asking if any one has foundation.

3. Always be on time. Make sure that you arrive on a shoot exactly at the time specified. Arriving late costs time and money and can even end up in a shoot cancellation. If you are going to be late, or even cancel a shoot, make sure you give as much notice as possible to all involved. On the other hand, if you intend on arriving early make sure you clear it with the client first. There are often reasons why you are required to arrive at a shoot at a specified time. It may be that a studio is small and the arrival times of models are staggered to avoid overcrowding.

4. On the day of a shoot make sure you are rested and are full of energy so that you are able to give your best on the day.

5. Before you begin a shoot leave any personal issues outside of the studio, which are inappropriate in a professional situation. On a job, you are expected to be professional and to give your full attention and effort. .
