Photography Policy

At Body and Breath we believe in capturing and sharing the memorable moments of our wellness retreats to inspire and connect with our community. We understand the importance of photography in documenting and promoting the unique experiences we offer. As such, we have implemented the following photography policy:

Photography Usage:

  1. Promotional Purposes: By participating in our wellness retreats, you consent to Body and Breath and its affiliates using any photographs or videos taken during the retreat for promotional purposes, including but not limited to advertising, marketing materials, social media posts, website content, and other promotional activities.

  2. Rights and Ownership: Body and Breath retains all rights, ownership, and copyright of the photographs and videos captured during the retreats. Participants do not have any rights to compensation, royalties, or other consideration for the use of their likeness in these materials.

  3. Participant Consent: We respect the privacy and preferences of our participants. If you do not wish to be photographed or have your image used for promotional purposes, please inform our staff at the beginning of the retreat. While we will make every effort to accommodate your request, please note that it may not always be possible to prevent your inclusion in group shots or candid photos.

  4. Attribution and Recognition: Whenever possible, we will credit participants whose images are used in promotional materials. If you would like to be credited or identified in any specific way, please let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Photography Etiquette:

  1. Respect and Consent: Always ask for permission before taking photographs of other participants or staff members. Respect their wishes if they decline to be photographed or request that you delete a photo. Our retreats are designed to be a safe and confidential haven, and information relating to participants are not to be shared outside the retreat space.
