However, the hope of this type of strangers photoshoot is to find two people who can connect for longer than a photoshoot. Consider this the step that could take you off the temptation to join another dating app. So please come with seriousness and respect for the time of each individual involved. Do not apply if you're in a relationship, even if it's complicated. Do no apply if you're hoping to have a lustful encounter (this is not the type of dynamic LightHeldLove endorses).

Failure to respect this boundary will result in an immediate cancellation of the photoshoot and deposit will not be returned.

Do you agree not to contact, pressure, harass, or pursue the other participant after the session if they do not want contact? *

Final acknowledgment: *

I understand that submitting this application does not guarantee selection. I understand that LightHeldLove will use this application to thoughtfully consider possible matches, but no romantic outcome is promised. I agree to communicate honestly, respect boundaries, and participate with kindness if selected. Please write "Yes" in the above box if you agree.
