Ruth, this is a great topic! This is how I handle photos in rehearsals.
I tend to squash everyone taking personal photos of show operations by reminding them of the rules. I feel it's ok that members of the Company take candids of themselves, friends, work areas as long as no union rules or personal requests are not broken.
I provide two types of "Calls" for everything that may or may not be controlled by AEA Rules in Contracts and Codes.
PHOTO CALL AEA 24-HOUR NOTICE: I send this information when the Producer or the Creative Team are taking photos for promotion use and AEA Rules require a call to be posted. I do not let any photos to be taken for personal use. A sample is below:
