I'm a photographer. I"m geting ready to do a photoshoot with firearms. I certainly understand the firearms rules.

But I need to break the "never point at anything you don't intend to shoot" rule. Other than the safety precautions, what advice would you give? The intent is to portray handguns in a self defense role, and in a favorable light. Any insight you have is much appreciated.
Use a remote trigger or props or airsoft or something else.
Don't go pointing guns at people you do not intend to shoot.
That's not safe, it's not a good habit to get into and it is not behavior to endorse by using it in art.
Finger OFF the trigger, is IMPORTANT !!!!!
I understand this!
But, does the realism get lost when the photo depicts a finger along the slide,mere moments before the weapon is being used.
I always cringe when I see a finger on the trigger photo, but I'm looking to create a realistic, "moments before" type photo, and I wonder if it detracts.
The concept I have does not require anyone having a gun pointed at them, except the photographer.

Dude! Nice work! Do you do any IR work?
yellow training barrels, you put it in the gun in place of the regular barrel, as it is incapable of loading ammunition it is safe and its bright yellow color lets people around you know the weapon is safe
