- What is your "style"?
-
If I had to describe my style I'd use words that others have used to describe my work, such as "editorial", and "edgy".
- Do I get to choose how my photos are edited?
-
The short answer is, no. I realize that my portfolio is not cookie cutter and you probably see a range of different looks moods and styles in it. This is because when I edit, I take into context the mood and feel of the image and this guides my direction in editing. However, during our consultation please feel free to tell me which images in my portfolio you are drawn to so that I have a feel for your preferences when I am building our session.
- Do I have to provide the location?
-
No. Unless you have a place you'd like to shoot in mind. Otherwise during our consultation I will ask you to describe your photos. When you think of the finished images what do you WANT them to look like? It's up to me to make suggestions on locations/places that will fit the vibe you are going for. Sometimes, using these places may require additional fees such as places that require shooting permits, or specialty studios. You would be responsible for these fees.
- What kind of retouching is included for my session?
-
Standard post-production retouching includes touch-ups such as removal of blemishes, removal of bags under eyes,, etc. On the other hand, custom post production is anything that requires extensive, custom work in Photoshop such as removing entire objects from the scene, changing the size and shape of body parts or other objects in the scene, adding objects to a scene and other custom work. All of these will incur an additional charge which will be discussed beforehand.
- Are deposits refundable?
-
The deposit essentially covers my time for scheduling and holding the time and date for your session and it is non refundable. The deposit can be moved to a rescheduled date/time or to a different session within the same calendar year.
- What is your cancellation/rescheduling policy?
-
Please cancel any sessions with at least 1 week notice. The deposit will not be refunded, but can be rescheduled to a date/time within the same calendar year.
- Can I get my unedited/raw files?
-
Chefs don't serve raw pork, and photographers don't serve raw files.
- What is your turnaround time?
-
Portrait Sessions have a 2 week turnaround, Studio Self Reflection Portraits have a 1 week turnaround, and The Model Experience have a 3 week turnaround. If you need these times rushed, please email me for rush service fees.
- How long do you keep my images?
-
Once you receive your images, your gallery will be live for 3 months. After that time it will be archived. If you need me to unarchive your photos, there will be a $100 charge. After 1 year, images may not be retrievable. This is why I recommend upgrading to receive a USB.
