© Art StreiberWhat if COVID gets in the way of your production? What is your plan B (C&D)?
What if the photographer tests positive the day before or the morning of the shoot? How do we recover/proceed?
We have brought together established photographers, a photo agent, a producer, people from the client side, and an insurance broker, all to help you better consider how to plan ahead. We all hope that everyone stays safe, but there is always the possibility of Covid hitting a key player in the middle of production - what's your plan?
