I do almost all of my sessions In-studio(for best control over light and to avoid the risk of weather conditions), but I also explore other possibilities such as the client office locations(additional fees MAY apply according to choice).
Yes ,It is hughly recommended.
I provide only selective wardrobe options for comsissioned fine art . I can also get you in touch with designers who would be able to create something uniquely for you. This communication must be initiated in advance.
Shortly after booking a session, I would be sending you a comprehensive guide that covers exactly how you should prepare yourself and your mind for your photo shoot.
I would also share a list of resources for beauty appointments and wardrobe for your photo shoot if need be!
All the options would be visible at the checkout page. You may also purchase your print products right after the session with a card payment or a payment through an invoice link.
I prefer payments through card and then direct bank transfers if the card encounters a transaction limit.
The website is SSL encrypted and payments done through sprite gateway so the transaction is fully secure.
I currently do have provisions for partial payment plans but order fullfillment will be initiated only after payment is completed .
For Comissioned artwork I also have provisions to take payments in CryptoCurrency.
Make up and styling may be subject to an additional fee depending on the products selected.The service providers are on an contractual basis so this requirement must be communicated a month in advance.
Its recommended to book your session at least 1 - 2 weeks in advance especially if you're looking for a weekend shoot. The slots are on a first come first serve basis and booked by the automated system as soon as the retainer is paid through the website.The non refundable retainer also acts as a session fee and may not include images(please refer to the package info)
Your photo reveal appointment will be approximately 2-3 weeks after your photo session(expedited delivery can be done on request and subject to additional fees)
Your session fee acts as a non refundable retainer for the date selected for your session.
A rescheduling fee of additional 20% would be applied in case the date needs to be moved. The new date is subject to availability of a free slot on the new date.
Immediately after the session is completed, I would like to invite an excited you to a quick cuppa coffeee where you relax and mark your favourates from the images we just created. You may let me know how many images you need from the session as the images are priced individually instead of a package. There is no pressure to choose a minimum and maximum number of images.
Inputting my experience, I will also help you decide between images, showing similar images side by side for easy selection, and assisting you with getting a great variety .
I NEVER share images before the reveal . I will honour whatever level of privacy you would like.
Only after the client has seen the images and granted me permission to share, I will display them on my social media accounts, website and blog.
I would consider myself as an elite level photomanipulator in photoshop as I often conduct workshops and tutorials in the craft. I pride myself as an educator but..
I try to keep Photoshop usage at a minimum when it comes to body/face modification.
I always edit out minor imperfections that are not permanent but I always ask my clients if there's something they want me to consider in my retouching process.
Delivery Turnaround times: Digital purchases are usually ready within 2 weeks and prints usually within 25 days from the day of the print order. Prints may be collected in person from the studio or delivered via post(subject to a shipping fee) .
Retouching: Includes skin and color correction only. I endorse body positivity and if there is anything you want me to consider, please let me know in our consulation session.
LONGEVITY of products : It is entirely dependent on the way the products are stored and handled. I would also share a instuctional booklet to help understand what needs to ensure the print products last a long time. Its the responsibilty of the client to archive the digital products safely. The images will be removed from the website 1 month after the session and permanently removed from storage 2 years after the session.
