18+ Productions

Safety & Privacy

Adult productions require a higher level of trust, communication and discretion than most ordinary photo or video work.

My approach is simple: everyone should know what they are agreeing to, everyone should be able to speak openly, and everyone’s private life should be treated with respect.

The practical details are discussed before filming and confirmed again before the cameras start.

Practical safeguards

What you should know

All performers must be eighteen or older.

Valid identification is required before filming, together with the documentation necessary to verify identity and age and maintain the required production records.

This is mandatory for everyone appearing in a production.

Productions involving sexual contact require appropriate and current STI documentation from everyone involved.

The exact requirements are communicated before the production so there is time to arrange testing.

The same standard applies to everyone participating in intimate scenes, with no exemptions.

If the required documentation is not in place, the relevant scene is not filmed.

Good personal hygiene is expected from everyone involved.

That means arriving clean and freshly showered, with normal attention to body, oral and intimate hygiene, clean clothing and generally being prepared for close physical work with another person.

Hands and nails should also be clean and suitable for intimate contact.

If a particular production requires any additional preparation, this will be discussed beforehand rather than introduced unexpectedly on the day.

The same expectations apply to everyone.

The content of a production is discussed before anyone is booked.

That includes the story, nudity, intimate content, individual acts, boundaries and anything that is specifically not part of the project.

The purpose is to avoid vague agreements such as simply accepting “an adult scene” without understanding what that particular scene actually contains.

Before filming, we go through the agreed content again and clarify anything that needs clarification.

Yes.

Agreeing to a production does not remove your ability to communicate during it.

If you need a pause, something is uncomfortable, a position is not working, or you simply need to discuss something, say so.

A simple STOP rule applies at all times: if anyone says stop, filming and activity stop immediately.

Filming can then be reset, adjusted or ended depending on what is needed.

Good communication is part of making the production work properly, not something that gets in the way of it.

Everyone making decisions and performing on camera must be clear-headed and capable of making their own decisions.

Alcohol or recreational drugs are therefore not used or allowed before or during filming as a way of relaxing into a scene or making the work easier.

The production should work because everyone involved is genuinely comfortable with what they are doing.

Discretion is paramount.

People appearing in adult productions may have families, careers, relationships, future plans and private lives that have nothing to do with their professional work on camera.

Everyone involved is therefore expected to respect the privacy of everyone else involved.

Private information learned during a production is not something to share afterwards.

A mutual confidentiality agreement is part of the standard paperwork, and the same expectations apply to performers, producer and anyone involved in distribution.

Personal phones and cameras are subject to clear rules during production.

Nobody should privately photograph or record another person without their knowledge and permission.

Behind-the-scenes photographs, private snapshots, messages or other material from a production are not automatically available for posting online, forwarding or sharing with other people.

Anything intended for public use must be agreed separately.

These rules apply to everyone present.

Confidentiality is mutual rather than one-sided.

Your legal identity and private information are only used where genuinely required for matters such as contracts, age verification, production records, payment or legal compliance.

Information about another participant’s private life, identity or circumstances should not be shared outside the production.

Depending on the project, a separate confidentiality agreement or NDA may also form part of the production paperwork, setting out specifically what information, material and behind-the-scenes details must remain private.

The same confidentiality expectations apply to everyone involved.

Identification documents, contracts, submitted photographs and other personal information are handled as production records rather than public material.

Access is restricted and information is retained only for legitimate production, contractual or legal purposes.

Personal data is handled in accordance with the site's privacy policy and applicable EU/EEA data-protection requirements.

How a production may be used is discussed before booking.

Some productions are intended for commercial publication. Others are commissioned privately and may remain private under the terms agreed with the client and performers.

A performer should know the intended use of the material before taking part.

Material is not casually repurposed outside the rights agreed for that production.

Some concepts require an identifiable performer. Others may allow different levels of anonymity.

Performers normally work and are credited under a stage name or alias rather than their legal identity.

If face visibility, identifying features or other privacy considerations matter to you, raise them during the initial conversation.

Whether a particular request can work depends on the production, but it should be settled before filming rather than afterwards.

When a production involves travel, the arrangements are discussed beforehand.

Depending on the project this may include transport, flights and accommodation.

Where overnight accommodation is involved, sleeping arrangements are made clear before travel.

Participants are always offered private sleeping accommodation.

No one should arrive somewhere without knowing what the location and accommodation arrangements actually are.

These productions can involve nudity, intimacy, acting and situations that are unusual compared with ordinary everyday work.

There is no expectation that everyone remains completely serious throughout it.

Talking, laughing, asking questions, taking breaks and occasionally saying “this is ridiculous” are perfectly normal parts of filming.

A relaxed atmosphere and clear communication usually produce better work than trying to manufacture intensity all day.

Say so.

I would much rather stop and discuss something than get a scene that somebody was uncomfortable making.

The objective is not simply to complete a shot list. It is to finish the project with everyone involved feeling that the process itself was handled properly.

You are welcome to ask before deciding whether a project interests you.

Contact is private and discreet.
