Studio Rules & Usage Policy

TIME CONSTRAINTS

• The minimal rental period at our studio is 1 hour, with 1 full hour increments. There are no sessions of 15 or 30 minutes.
• The session time starts and ends as booked, regardless of how long the actual shoot goes on. Setting up light/background and all other procedures in the main work area are included in the session duration.
• Our studio has two makeup rooms (two seats each). If you need to have your makeup done, you can use one makeup room an hour before your shoot free of charge. Ask for it when booking.

FOOTWEAR

• If the model will be photographed wearing shoes, you need to clean the soles the day before (except for a brand-new pair) and bring these shoes without wearing them outside. We cover the soles with painter's tape to avoid marks on the cyclorama and paper backdrops. The only exception is sneakers with thoroughly clean white soles.
• We use painter's tape. It comes off the soles without a trace.
• In the studio, everyone except for the models wear either slippers (washed after each use) or shoe covers.

DEPOSIT

• This policy applies to private individuals only. Legal entities are invoiced separately.
• At least two days before the shoot, the customer is required to transfer 25% of the full session fee to one of the accounts listed below.
• Until then, the customer can cancel or reschedule the shoot. After the prepayment the reservation is confirmed and in case of cancellation the deposit is not refunded. If the deposit is not paid 48 hours before the shooting, the reservation is canceled automatically.

BOOKING

• To book a session, write to us on Instagram @geodaylight — our admins will find the right slot and confirm the reservation. Booking is confirmed only upon receiving a screenshot with your booking number.

RESTRICTIONS

• We do not allow the use of cakes or pastries, glitter, fire (candles, sparklers), paint, feathers, confetti, tanning cream (bronzer) or other polluting substances, colorants or toxic agents in our studio.
• We do not allow sparkling (Champagne) wine opening on the cyclorama and paper backdrops.
• We do not allow animals, domestic or wild, with the exception of non-poisonous snakes; however this type of shoot should be agreed upon with the studio in advance.

CUSTOMER LIABILITY

• By renting the studio, the customer agrees to fully cover damages to studio equipment and/or interior, caused by client, their crew member or any accompanying person.

PROPS

• Please return any additional equipment you borrowed from the studio manager before the session ends.

CYCLORAMA

• You can walk on the cyclorama barefoot, wearing clean white-soled sneakers, shoe covers or in shoes with taped soles.
• You CANNOT step on the gradient (curved surface) of the cyclorama! It may lead to significant damage and the repair cost of a punctured cyclorama is five thousand (5000) GEL.
