While practicing social distancing, many photographers continue to do photo shoots with dancers and models in their city, and they stay safe by wearing a face mask (or a cloth face covering) when they are in public settings. Photographers also keep a safe distance from the model or dancer that they are photographing during their photo shoot to stay safe.
