These policies are designed for still photography/video crews. Additional policies apply for film bookings. Specific homeowners may have their own rules or particulars regarding shooting locations within their homes and/or the subject matter being photographed. Providing as many details of the project as possible to the locations agent during the booking process will help eliminate any complications.
