Filming and Photography at a Strip Act in Belgium: Privacy, Consent and Agreements
Capturing memories is fun, but privacy and comfort come first. At a strip act there are two sides: the performer, who often does not want to appear recognisably online, and the guests, not all of whom want to end up in a story. With clear agreements, you keep a balance between recording and enjoying the moment. This article helps you with simple choices that feel right for everyone, and explains what the rules in Belgium are.

Discuss beforehand whether filming and photography are wanted, and by whom. A quick yes-or-no agreement prevents noise during the act. Put your wish in the comments field of your request, so the performer can immediately indicate what is okay. Many performers are not recognisable on the website precisely because they guard their privacy; respect that on the evening itself too. More guidelines can be found under Frequently asked questions.
What does the law in Belgium say?
The right to one's image applies to everyone in Belgium: you need consent to film or photograph someone recognisably, and consent again to share or publish those images. That applies to the performer, but also to your guests. Sharing images without consent can lead to a complaint and, apart from that, is simply not decent. The rule of thumb is simple: no consent, no footage.
Share smart, preferably small
If you share, choose photos or short moments that are okay for everyone. Consider a shared folder for the group so you do not have to make everything public. A joint album is more fun for most groups of friends than a public story that brings regret the next morning. When in doubt: better not to share than to regret it later.
- Ask the performer beforehand whether filming is allowed, and if so: by whom and of what.
- Appoint one person who may film; the rest enjoy the show.
- Ask the guests whether they want to be on camera. Whoever says no stays out of frame.
- Share in a closed group or shared folder, not publicly.
- Delete footage immediately if the performer or a guest asks.
Respect in practice
Always ask first, even if you think it is fine. Small check-ins keep the atmosphere light and prevent awkwardness. A performer who notices secret filming loses focus and may cut the show short. What else is and is not appropriate during an act is explained in Etiquette and boundaries. If you want to discuss something later, you can do so via Contact.
Memories without a camera
A strip act is a moment you experience above all. Many groups deliberately opt for a phone-free show and take one group photo with the performer afterwards, with consent. That one photo usually says more than ten blurry clips, and everyone has really seen the show instead of watching it through a screen.

Are you allowed to film a stripper in Belgium?
Only with the performer's consent. In Belgium the right to one's image applies: recognisable filming and certainly sharing is not allowed without agreement. Ask beforehand and respect a no.
Can I post footage of the strip act on social media?
Only if the performer and the recognisable guests agree. Sharing requires separate consent, even if filming itself was okay. When in doubt, choose a closed group or shared folder.
What if a guest does not want to be on camera?
Then that guest stays out of frame, full stop. Ask the group beforehand and appoint one person who films, so you can easily keep an eye on it.
How do I pass on my wish to film?
Put it in the comments field of your request. The performer will immediately let you know what is possible. After booking, you can also arrange it directly.
May the performer take pictures themselves?
Only with your consent; the same rule applies in both directions. Some performers ask for a photo for their portfolio afterwards. You are free to say no.
