It has become increasingly difficult for celebrities to find a haven or safe zone from the paparazzi and a cell phone bearing public eager for a photo. Quick or discreet photos can now be instantly published and spread around the world. At Websticker we’re seeing an increase in orders for sheets of custom removable privacy stickers being used to block cameras on cell phones at exclusive clubs and special events. Paired with code-of-conduct contracts signed upon arrival, branded privacy stickers are applied by staff members to create camera free zones. Removal of the stickers or any attempts at photography result in dismissal from the club or event.
Websticker client, San Vicente Bungalows started the trend for this new privacy tool. We had been producing security sticker sheets of webcam covers for phones & laptops to block spying eyes, but San Vicente Bungalows was the first to come to us for branded stickers to block the cameras on the other side of the phone. They wanted to block any photos from being taken while allowing guests to keep their phones for other purposes.
An excellent article in the New York Times by Guy Trebay explored Hollywood’s New Clubhouse – Jeff Klein’s latest hotel project protects celebrities and power brokers with a ban on camera phones.
Since creating the camera covering / blocking stickers for San Vicente Bungalows, Websticker has become the go-to manufacturer for other clubs & events looking to offer guests a reprieve from the ever present prying cameras and social media.
We’re here to help with any camera blocking, privacy stickers solution. Whether used for personal security or celebrity privacy this tool also doubles as a low-cost promotional product, branded with the logos of clubs or organizations.
