PHOTO STUDIO RULES

Background roll :

  1. Never cut the rolls! If part is already used or dirty, you can just unroll the clean part and accumulate the used part by rolling it on the other side during its use. This will allow us to reverse the roll once it reaches the end and use it on the other side meaning we will get double the usage than if it was cut.
  2. If you see a cut or tear in the paper please repair it right away with the adhesive tape that is available in the cupboard. This will stop the cut or tear spreading over more of the roll.
  3. If you need to change a roll you can do it (if you know how to do it properly) but if any parts of the system are broken, please notify the admin list ASAP to provide the spares. If you do not know how to do, it please report it (again to the admin list) and we will change it for you.

Other studio equipment :

  1. If you notice something broken or missing, or if something breaks during your photo session, please let us know at once (yes, again to the admin list…); we need to know what has to be repaired and replaced/ purchased as soon as possible.
  2. If you need help, on how any of the equipment works please contact us before using it. Many experts in our club are always willing to advise and share their experience.
