The tone and nature of conversation and interactions with models is warm, relaxed and friendly. Shoot Producers should be friendly, but never overly familiar (never inappropriate or oversharing). The SP is never perceived as being “creepy” or inappropriate in their behaviour.
The tone should be fun, but focused – there’s a job to do, and we’re working together to do it to the best of our ability. The Shoot Producer ensures the atmosphere (and the actions on a shoot day) are always consensual, with the option for everyone to say “stop” and for that request to be respected.
Shoot Producers behave professionally, but are never stiff or cold or “overly professional” – Shoot Producers are encouraged to be genuine, their “true selves” on shoots, and to show their personality.
Professionalism protects the Shoot Producer and the model
Establishing a professional atmosphere helps everyone be conscious of where they stand within the shoot day. It gives models the comfort and confidence to “let go” (which is what our customers really want to see), knowing that the SP has everything in hand, and she’s not under any threat.
Being professional allows models to trust in the SP’s shoot-direction, and to do things that are outside their initial understanding of what “should” happen on a “porn set” (for example, talking about her hobbies and not just her vagina; doing HWBs; incorporating naturalistic use of personal props).
SP’s being professional also means that, should a model change their mind about having been a model on our site and wanting her material removed, there is no extra complication about if she was treated poorly, “abused” or “manipulated” to do things on the shoot day.
