Definitive Photo / Video Etiquette
Ok so doing a little prep for my next encounter... I took my phone last time but didn't get any shots as it wasn't really appropriate given the circumstance, but now I'm thinking about practicalities ( I know I'm prob thinking about it too much! )
Had a read of this thread Opinions on posting pictures in this forum
Although it deals with the "morality", permission and courtesy aspects.... didn't really get to the bottom line of practicality.

So I thought perhaps a thread to come to a consensus on what the protocol / etiquette for this is to maximise every bros' chances of some good shots.
Basic premises are that:
- You will be respectful and ask the girls permission
- You respect the girls privacy and publicity in terms of blurring/blocking images as appropriate.
- You ensure she is comfortable and have established some basic rapport
- We all want some good shots for info, so sharing is caring for all bros.
So here's a few scenarios - how would one approach it:
- You have said your hellos, and getting relaxed, do you ever ask her for photos beforehand (unlikely cos just got in there... and no rapport... but on the plus she's clothed and not so fussed)
- You have finished up, all went well. Both are nkd, do you ask for photos... (awkward - given that many/some wg would prob prefer to be clothed before posing)
- Ok so she agrees and decides she prefers getting dressed... so you manage to get a photo... so you would like to ask her to take her clothes off again and get a naked photo... hmm.. backtracking...
- You are having sx and want to grab a few live photos... can't really approach the question mid-flow! So do you ask beforehand?
- Photos are mentioned, but search revealed nothing about videos, in terms of keeping a personal record... do you ever ask, or take?
- Would the WG be more likely to agree if you tipped... but payment protocol is usually afterwards, so again how to you deal with this if you want to sort it out before for live pics.
This will be the first time I've asked a WG for Pics etc, matter never really came up in my uk experiences..... but seems here on 141 the done thing... so let's hear it! | |
