“The shoot was very good. It was at my house so I felt comfortable because of the surroundings.” (Anna X, Apr 2022)
We always prefer to make shoots of models in their own homes. If you’re flying to shoot with us in another city, this won’t be possible (it’s very rare we fly Shoot Producers to the home city of models).
“The location was my house! My house is very comfortable for me, I can walk naked and have no problem with this.” (Rita L, Feb 2022)
But if the Shoot Producer lives in the same city as you, we might be able to make this work, if you’re ok with it.
You’ll probably feel more comfortable being shot in your own home, we can access your entire wardrobe of clothes to find ideal stuff, it’s going to match your personality and style (whatever that is, it will be fine with us!), and our customers enjoy seeing models in their “natural habitat”. 🐘
“I love working at my place. It is my safe place and I like the set-up I have usually so it was cool to see it on a professional camera.” (Flo, Mar 2021)
We pay you a €100 bonus for shooting at your (real, actual) home, paid together with your shoot fee.
However, we have some requirements and considerations when making shoots at your home.
- Your home must be safe for us to work in
- We prefer only you be home, so we can focus on the work at hand
- We need to be able to record a “clean” soundtrack for the video component of your shoot
- Potential problems include being on a major road or intersection, being near a school, constructions site, public transport hub, or similar
- Intermittent problems like lawn mowing might be an issue, but we can usually work around then
- It’d be helpful for our Shoot Producer to be able to park their car nearby
“It was at my place. It was very comfortable because she let my pets stay with me… It was kind of crazy! Usually, on shoots, there are no dogs or cats! Just an empty room. This time it was full of my pets. She said not to worry about cleaning my room, either. Usually, it stresses my pets when I have to close them in the kitchen or another room. This shoot they were… Happy!😻😻” (Ally D, May 2022)
“We shot at my apartment! It went way better than I would have expected. I wasn’t so sure of how many places we could shoot because I just moved in a few months ago and I don’t have a lot of furniture…But it was great for me! I had everything there and I got to hang out with my cats 🐈🐈 while I was on the shoot. So, yeah. It was awesome!” (Myra, Jan 2021)
Your Shoot Producer will discuss this with you in the lead-up to the shoot. They might ask you for some pictures of your home so they can get a sense of how it might work for a shoot.
It’s possible this won’t work out – maybe your home is not suitable for a technical reason, or there might be a logistics issue that prevents it.
