Contactless Shoots
Brent Herrig Photography takes the health and safety of all of the crew and clients of any photoshoot seriously. With that in mind, I am introducing a Contactless Shoots to any client moving forward. Photo or video shoots do not have to be cancelled if done properly and safely. “Work from Home” photoshoot are also possible. Brent Herrig Photography is waiving reschedule fees for all shoots during this time to make it easy for you to stay safe and worry free of any charges due to rescheduling outside of expenses occurred before shoot. Please also note that all parties must observe local and state regulations related to social distancing.
What is a ‘Contactless Shoot’?
A ‘contactless’ or ‘no-contact’ shoot is a shoot where you do not directly come in contact with your photographer or any of the crew. Instead, you meet in a safe, agreed upon location, maintain a comfortable distance of 6+ ft, and then proceed with the shoot as planned.
Optional features of a contactless photoshoot. (Added cost may apply)
- Remote Client Feature: We will create a virtual desktop for you to view. You will be able to watch all of the shots coming in as we are shooting and speak with us in real time for what you like or what to change. We can also set up a 2nd computer to view the set from a camera.
- Complete Sanitization Package: We can have a cleaning staff come in before and after a shoot to disinfect the shooting space if needed.
- Minimized Crew Size: We are able to scale down any crew size. This will decrease the shots we are able to achieve.
