When should I not contact The Collective?

Shoot Producers are well-trained to make shoots, and while the Collective is a convenient backstop, we encourage Shoot Producers to interpret the abbywinters.com paradigm to make excellent shoots (or, when that's not possible, to reschedule those shoots) independantly. Some example of situations when it's unnecessary to contact The Collective are described below.

Grooming issues

Minor grooming issues are expected and are to appear in the shoot. The Collective does not need to be contacted. Models should appear wholesome, neat, clean and healthy. So, a mosquito bite on the model's foot, some light acne on her chin, a moderate heat rash on her chest, a scab on her knee, some eczema around her eye are all examples of things the Shoot Producer can make a decision to proceed. Lessening the issue is preferred if it's easy - for example, some lotion, cooling the model down, cleaning any wounds and applying a new band-aid are appropriate steps to take. More major, or more numerous issues should be brough to the The Collective's attention for a decision.

Homonoia / Paperwork

Fixing Homonoia issues are usually easy for The Collective to do, but can take time for someone to get to a computer to fix the issue. While its never preferred, using paper for the Release form and capturing IDs with the Production stills camera is an acceptable alternative. It's left to the SP to decide what the best course of action is for their day. However, we still need to know about Homonoia issues, so we can fix them! Make screenshots / videos of what is happenning, and bring it up with The Collective after the shoot day.

Model gets her period during the shoot

We have a policy for this, that can be summed up as; Keep shooting if the model is comfortable with it, downgrade the Posing level, or reschedule the shoot if she is not. The model's decision is the driving force here. Full details in the model-facing FAQ, What if I am on my period?
