Community Code

Be Kind and Courteous - We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required. No unsolicited CC, bad-mouthing clients, bullying/shaming, trolling, drama, mansplaining or namecalling members either in this community or outside the group. This community has zero policy for drama.

No Promotions/Self-Promotions, Advertising or Spam - Any promotional posts (including freebies, beta tests, market research, other groups or workshop tickets/reselling) will result in an instant ban—message mods to check BEFORE posting if you’re unsure. The only exceptions allowed are selling second-hand gear, dress rentals, & second shooting offers *must be clearly labeled.*

All model calls & shoot trade requests can ONLY be added to the collaborative Weddings & Wanderlust map found in the “guides” tab—all posts will be deleted.
 
No Hate Speech, Discrimination, or Bullying - We have a ZERO tolerance policy for racism, sexism, homophobia, or any degrading comments related to race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed and will result in an instant ban.

This is handled on the honors system, please message Admins/Mods about repeat offenders who will be removed.
 
Credit Other Photographers & Don’t Plagiarize - Plagiarism of images, copy, contracts, presets, website design etc. will result in an instant ban.
