Our clients pay good money to shoot at your location and are entitled to a certain amount of flexibility and freedom. They will assume that they can shoot in any area of the location (unless you have specified a no-go area). Naturally if it’s a small stills shoot and you wish to work in your study for the day and they’re not wanting to shoot in there, then that’s fine; however for film shoots and events we recommend that you leave the location to them and return home towards the end of their production / as they are leaving.

Having said all that, it is beneficial to have someone who knows the house there during the day (a housekeeper, for example) so that if the client needs assistance with where to turn the watering system off or similar, then someone is there to assist
