Production & Shoot Guidelines - Covid-19

The safety of our artists and creative partners has always been of the utmost importance. Working closely with our peers, collaborators and Governing bodies, we have developed a comprehensive production guide outlining processes and operational guidance to provide a safe environment for our work space and sets.

All of our artists and production personnel are fully versed in the protocols outlined below.

All of our Beauty artists are Barbicide Covid-19 certified (specific hygiene course for Beauty Professionals on Covid-19). Proof of certification can be requested from michelle@lgamanagement.com.

For more information on our health and safety protocols, please contact info@lgamanagement.com.
