FAQs

  • I provide photographic and graphic services in digital format. Hard prints, or other printed matter could be arranged at request.

  • Please email me or message me to check availability +44(0)79 6158 4497

    I aim to get back to all enquiries within 24 business hours.

  • Please contact me with a brief description of your project and I will get back to you to discuss your requirements in detail and provide an initial quote at my earliest convenience. The quote will present a breakdown of all expenses including production, post-production, carriage of equipment and travel if necessary.

  • I work with digital mirrorless Nikon Z cameras, and various lenses depending on the required images. If I work with a second photographer, cameras’ brand may differ. This does not affect the final result, which is always colour corrected to obtain a unified series.

  • A 50% deposit of the full session fee is required at the time of signing the photography estimate, with the remaining 50% due on the photo session date. Should we need to reschedule, the deposit can be used on a future date. In the event of cancellation, please read below under What is your policy for rescheduling or cancelling a session?

  • Professional photography, like music, literature, tv, software, brands etc. works on a licensing based system.

    In the UK, the photograph is automatically copyrighted once it’s been made by the Photographer, ie. the Photographer owns the image.

    A licence details how the photograph will be used, and by whom. If you have a smaller budget, the usage allowed will be adjusted to accomodate that budget. The more usage requirements, the higher the cost. Less usage requirements, the lower the cost. I always suggest only purchasing usage for what you really intend to use it for. This way the cost can be kept down for you. You can always add usage at a later date for a particular need on only the images you need it for.  

  • I have covered event photography for private parties, and corporate events at various venues for small groups as well as 100+ guests.

    These include events such as products launch, fashion week, company’s members celebrations, weddings, exhibition openings, book fairs, auctions and birthday parties.

  • On average 48 business hours since the payment for the photography service has cleared. It may vary depending on the amount of photographs included in your package. If you need the images delivered by a specific day, please make sure to communicate this with the photographer before booking.

  • I work both on location and with my portable studio, so I can meet you at your preferred address. Whenever the project requires it, I also work in photo studios for hire.

  • Portrait sessions start from 2 hours, and Headshot sessions at 30 minutes. The duration depends mostly on the number and variety of photos you need. Our initial free consultation helps us gather this information to ensure a tailored experience.

  • Yes, of course, during a Portrait session I will coach you toward your best expression and if you wish I can provide pre-session advice on clothing, as well as hair and make-up.

  • When you book a session, you automatically get your chosen number of photographs professionally edited by myself in a realistic fashion. If you need advanced retouching, you can request a quote to have it done.

  • The number of optional backgrounds available depends on the package being purchased. I can provide white, off-white, black backgrounds, and I’m always open to work with the backgrounds available on location, as you can see in my portfolio.

  • Final turnaround time depends on the volume of the material selected for post-production and is always agreed with the Client up-front. When you have booked a Headshot or Portrait session, both, the unretouched and the retouched images are first presented via online gallery. The Client is welcome to choose any extra images they wish to have, in addition to those already included in the package. The final delivery of the digital files will include the number of images selected by the Client for retouching only. Images that are not selected by the Client will not be delivered or saved.

  • Once I receive payment (in full and cleared funds), I grant a license to the client to use the images for the purposes of their business. I retain copyright on all visual materials supplied to my clients.

  • Yes, it will be signed by all parties in order to confirm the booking.

  • The deposit is non-refundable, but should we need to reschedule, you may apply your deposit to a future session within 6 months of the paid date. If a confirmed shoot is cancelled, for reasons outside the control of the Photographer the following fees plus expenses in all cases are applicable: Cancellation within two days notice = 100% fees plus expenses incurred. Between 3 and 6 days notice = 75% fees plus expenses incurred. 7 days notice and over = 25% fees plus expenses incurred. 

  • I don’t usually require a specific notice period, however, I recommend booking as soon as you are able to, in order to secure your date and time. Most sessions cannot be booked short notice due to coordination time constraints.
