• No trash cans in the shots. No toilet paper.
• Closets are always closed unless agents ask differently.
• The toilet seat cover is always down.

• If lights improve the quality of the shot, use them. If not – use ambient.

• If the client changes the order – notify the office about the update.
• Give us 15-20% more shots than ordered.
