FAQ

  • Why do I need professional photography?

    You wouldn’t show up to a pitch meeting in your pyjamas? If your website or feed is full of blurry, dark phone snaps, that’s exactly what you’re doing digitally. If you don't look like you've invested in yourself, why would a sponsor invest in you?

  • What exactly is included in a photography shoot?

    Each shoot includes pre-shoot planning, the photography session itself, professional editing, and delivery of high resolution final images (web ready version also). Every shoot is approached with your brand, brief, and end use in mind.

  • How many final images will I receive?

    The number of images depends on the package booked and the scope of the shoot. You’ll always receive a curated selection of the strongest images rather than an overwhelming volume.

  • Are the images edited and retouched?

    Yes. All final images are professionally edited using Lightroom and Photoshop. Extra images will occur more charges.

  • Can I request specific shots or a shot list?

    Please do. Shot lists and references are encouraged and help ensure the shoot aligns with your vision. Final creative decisions are guided by what works best on the day.

  • How far in advance should I book?

    It’s recommended to book at least 2–4 weeks in advance. Availability may be limited during busy periods. The more time you give me, the better i can do the research.

  • When will I receive my images?

    Final images are typically delivered within 7–14 days after the shoot unless otherwise agreed. They may arrive sooner depending on my schedule.

  • Do I own the images?

    The photographer retains copyright, but you receive a licence to use the images as agreed.

  • What usage rights are included?

    Licensing typically includes use for your website, social media, and marketing purposes. Specific usage will be outlined in your agreement.

  • How long does the licence last?

    Licences are usually granted for a defined period or ongoing use, depending on the package.

  • How much does a shoot cost?

    Pricing varies depending on the scope, usage, and requirements of the shoot. A detailed quote is provided before booking. You can view pricing section for base price.
