The shoot setting is where models will be getting naked, sharing intimate aspects of themselves, and perhaps masturbating… and they are also a workplace, a lunch-room, and a changing room!
Everyone works better when they understand the context of the work, in this case, understanding where the shoot will actually happen, and what spaces have been set aside for different things.
When the model arrives for the shoot day, indicate where they should spread out their clothes, leave their bags, go to the toilet, get changed, and make a cup of tea (some people may not feel comfortable exploring and finding these things on their own – in some cultures, wandering around someone else’s house – even a rented one – is considered rude!).
Most abbywinters.com shoots benefit from not being stuck in one setting the whole time, and there are some technical considerations for each. For each setting, indicate where the model should move (and should avoid) due to technical reasons like the best light / problem shadows.
This can be done during the shoot, or the start of a sequence where the model is expected to move around.
