Event Guidelines

Due to our events being free and open to the public, anyone can join—but that doesn’t mean anyone can stay if they make others uncomfortable. If you feel uncomfortable or need help at an event, please reach out to one of our admins or volunteers. We're available at the check-in table and ready to assist. It's easier to address concerns during the event, but if you're more comfortable reaching out later, feel free to email us at info@fstop504.com.

When collaborating with another creative (photographers, models, stylists, etc.), make sure expectations are clear.

Can the images be used for promotion or portfolio purposes?

Important: Do not assume you will receive raw images unless you have agreed upon this in advance. Communicate your needs!

All models must be 18 years or older to participate. Any attendees under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Remember that photographers and models of all skill levels are attending, and some may still be learning.

Do not expect every photographer to send a large batch of photos—especially those newer to the craft.

Be respectful and patient with models, especially those who are just beginning.

Take the time to introduce yourself to new people and work with various models, not just the ones with the most social media followers.

If you feel shy, find an admin or someone at the front desk, and we’ll help connect you with others.

If you are a signed model, please ensure you communicate with both your photographer and us about proper agency credit when posting images on social media.

Be sure to swap contact information (emails or social handles) with your collaborators so you can easily access or send images after the event.

Clean up after yourself and ensure we leave the venue in the same condition it was in when we arrived. This helps build positive relationships and ensures we are welcome back for future events.
