Member Safety

Ensuring your safety on DMVTFP is important to us. While we cannot guarantee a completely risk-free environment, we are here to help you take the necessary precautions to avoid potential dangers. Please take a few minutes to read the following tips to protect yourself:
Check the person’s portfolio and references: Before agreeing to work with someone, take the time to review their portfolio and ask for references. Reach out to previous collaborators to learn about their experience working with this person.
Meet in a public place: Always meet for the first time in a public place like a coffee shop or a studio before going to a private location. If possible, bring a friend or let someone else know where you’re going and who you’re meeting.
Be cautious of requests for personal information: Never give out your personal information like your social security number, credit card number, or bank information. Avoid anyone who asks you for money or offers you a job that sounds too good to be true.
Don’t ignore your instincts: If something doesn’t feel right or makes you uncomfortable, trust your instincts and leave the situation. You are not obligated to work with someone just because you agreed to a shoot.
Report suspicious activity: If you encounter any inappropriate or suspicious behavior, please report it to us immediately. We will investigate and take action to protect our community.


Getting Help

Help is available to you via the National Sexual Assault Hotline. Call 800.656.HOPE (4673) to be connected with a trained staff member from a sexual assault service provider in your area. Visit online.rainn.org to chat one-on-one with a trained RAINN support specialist, any time 24/7.

Reporting to law enforcement is a personal choice. RAINN’s website states that reporting “may have a positive impact on your recovery” and “can also have a positive impact on the lives of others.”
