1= PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME  if early i cant let you in as no space to wait inside the studio and if late I still have to charge you from the arranged starting time as I am paying for the studio. As an example in a 1 hour session there will be 40 minutes photography with 10 minutes to arrive and prep and 10 m inutes to pack up and pay and leave so the next client can start on time. Sorry but if you are late for whatever reason the charge time will still start from the arranged time due to the studio cost for the session. Please be prepared and come early and wait in a coffee shop rather than being late.

2= DEPOSIT for each shoot you will need to pay a £50 deposit which will be deducted from the final cost. If you book more than 4 hours the deposit is £100. The deposit is non-refundable and is used to pay for the studio. The rest of the payment is on the day of the shoot by cash, card or bank transfer.

3= you will RECEIVE YOUR IMAGES ON THE DAY After the session all images will be sent via we-transfer. If you book for longer than 1 hour you will get more photography time and more pictures as you only need to arrive, prep and pack up once. If I dont have a job after I can extend the time, but if booked then this will not be possible so please book the correct amount of time. Of course Brands can book for as long as you need 2-8 hours is normal. Mannequins and Jewellery take 3 working days to deliver.

4= All photography and Retouching at studio and after the session is based on time @£75 per hour. While you are at the studio you will help arrange your models and products. You will see all images on the computer which you can check and you can ask me to make adjustments. I can also make adjustments after the studio appointment but  I will still charge for time. If you need extra work done due to product issues such as dust clean, adjusting faults, changing shapes, removing creases, adjusting people or model imperfections this can be done but the extra time will be charged if you need it as i do not work for free.

5= If garments require steaming this should be done before you come and brought on hangers as it’s time consuming at the studio and will use up your studio time unless you have already accounted and allowed time for this  …. to keep your costs down it’s usually best to do most of the steaming and preparation before and steam at the studio any bits you missed.

6= Make Up can be done at the studio. This can be in full or touch ups as we have 2 make up areas. Please allow studio time for make up and book accordingly as you will be charged for all time at the studio.
