Respect comes first — your best shots happen when everyone feels comfortable.

Compositions that calm

Gear & Prep

  • Phone + waterproof pouch, microfiber cloths for steam.
  • Avoid bulky tripods; keep gear minimal and discreet.

Light & Angles

  • Dusk steam catches side‑light beautifully.
  • Shoot low for reflections; mind privacy and signage.

Etiquette

  • Ask companions before close‑ups; avoid filming strangers.
  • Keep devices away from vents and water.
  • Short bursts > long shoots — be present.

Tip: Wipe lenses often; steam + droplets can soften images unexpectedly.

Bottom Line

Discretion, light, and patience will deliver the look you want without disturbing the soak.
