Creative Smile Studio LLC — Nude Model Requirements & Guidelines

Location: South Carolina
Contact: photographer@creativesmilestudios.com
Website: www.creativesmilestudios.com

1. Professional Standards

At Creative Smile Studio LLC, we take artistic and nude photography seriously as a form of professional art.
Every session is conducted with respect, privacy, and professionalism to ensure all parties are comfortable and protected.

2. Age & Identification Requirements

  • All models must be 18 years of age or older.

  • A valid, government-issued photo ID (such as driver’s license or passport) must be presented before the session begins.

  • Copies of identification are kept confidential and securely stored for record-keeping and legal compliance.

3. Consent & Model Release

  • Models must complete and sign a written consent form and model release before any nude or semi-nude photography begins.

  • The release clearly outlines the intended use of the images (personal use, portfolio, publication, or private commission).

  • No images will ever be shared, published, or displayed publicly without the model’s explicit written permission.

  • Models have the right to revoke consent for usage at any time before publication or posting.

4. Professional Conduct During Sessions

  • All sessions are conducted in a closed, private, and secure environment.

  • Only essential personnel (photographer, assistant, makeup artist if applicable, and model) are allowed in the studio during nude sessions.

  • No touching of the model’s body is permitted at any time unless the model provides explicit consent for pose adjustments, and even then, must be verbal and documented.

  • Models are encouraged to bring a companion or chaperone if desired — provided the companion remains professional and does not interfere with the shoot.

5. Privacy & Content Protection

  • All image files are stored on encrypted, cloud-based servers and are never shared or accessed by unauthorized individuals.

  • Models may request image review during or after the session to ensure they are comfortable with the work produced.

  • Any boudoir or nude imagery is treated with strict confidentiality and handled in compliance with the studio’s Privacy Policy.

6. Preparation & Appearance

To ensure the best results and comfort:

  • Models should arrive clean, prepared, and free of body oils or lotions (unless requested for a specific concept).

  • Shaving, makeup, and styling preferences should be discussed before the session.

  • Outfits, robes, or accessories should be agreed upon in advance.

  • Creative Smile Studio provides a private changing area and ensures the model’s comfort throughout the shoot.

7. Payment & Compensation

  • All payment terms (flat fee, hourly rate, or trade-for-portfolio) will be agreed upon in writing before the session.

  • Compensation will be made promptly upon completion of the session, unless otherwise stated in the contract.

  • Trade-for-print or collaboration shoots will include clear terms regarding image delivery timelines and usage rights.

8. Boundaries & Respect

  • Any form of harassment, pressure, or unprofessional behavior will result in the immediate termination of the session.

  • Models should feel empowered to pause or stop the shoot at any time if they feel uncomfortable.

  • Professional boundaries are expected to be maintained at all times, by all parties.

9. Image Review & Delivery

  • Models may request to view or approve final edits before any public use.

  • Images not selected for release remain private and will not be shared or distributed.

  • Files are typically retained for six (6) months, after which they may be securely deleted.

10. Legal & Confidentiality

  • All nude photography is conducted strictly for lawful, artistic purposes.

  • Any distribution or use of imagery without written authorization is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.

  • Both Creative Smile Studio LLC and the model agree to confidentiality regarding private sessions, images, and behind-the-scenes details.

Acknowledgment

By signing the model agreement, the model acknowledges:

  • They are 18 years or older.

  • They understand and accept these requirements and guidelines.

  • They are participating voluntarily, with full consent and understanding of the artistic nature of the session.
