Frequently asked questions

I’m in Herne Hill (SE London). Herne Hill station is a 7 minute walk away with services from Victoria, Farringdon etc. North Dulwich Station is a 12 minute walk away, with trains from London Bridge. The are also buses from Brixton and Euston etc.

For each package there is a ‘More Info and Booking’ page. Within this page, there is a booking calendar, where you can see availability, choose your preferred date/time and pay either the deposit or full amount. When viewing the page on a PC, the booking calendar is on the righthand side of the page. On mobile, scroll down until you find it.

For each package there is a guide number of tops that can be used during the session. This doesn’t mean you can only bring that number with you. Bring as many as you like. We can then make a decision together as to which you should wear. One thing to ensure is that they have as few creases as possible, no logos or fancy patterns, no animal hairs, fluff etc…

Proof images a low resolution samples images from the shoot. These are provided within 24 hours of your photoshoot for you to select the images you would like edited. No proof images may be used for any reason other than review to choose images for editing.

I select to be the best ones from the whole shoot, looking at areas such as lighting, focus, background, variety of facial expressions, etc. 

Anywhere from 10% of the total shots taken during your photoshoot. 

For each package there is an estimate for the number of images included in the online gallery. This number is not a guarantee. Actual number may be more or less. 

Editing time is usually 7-10 business days from when you let me know your choices and I send them either as an email attachment or upload to dropbox. Editing time is the same for all packages, as I edit each clients images in the order that they are received, along with doing multiple shoots per day.

Sometimes, with a strong wind behind me, I’ll complete the edits and get them back to you sooner.

If you would like your edits faster, 48h express editing is available to purchase as an add-on.

I don’t supply unedited/RAW images for a number of reasons, a few of which are below.

Quality Over Quantity:
Providing all the unedited images from a photoshoot may seem like added value, but it ultimately undermines the experience for the person being photographed by adding unnecessary noise. These unedited files often include test shots, duplicates, and unflattering moments that don’t reflect the subject at their best. Rather than enhancing the outcome, an overload of unedited images creates confusion and weakens the impact of the final gallery. A carefully curated, professionally edited selection ensures the client sees themselves in the most flattering, intentional way—because when it comes to great photography, less truly is more.

Copyright and Intellectual Property: As the creator I retain all intellectual property rights of all images I capture, along with any edited images provided. This includes the sole Copyright. For more information on copyright, please see clause 4 of the Terms and Conditions.

All packages are priced based on the shoot length and the specified number of edits, which are provided with a licenced for personal, non-commercial use.

For more information on copyright and licencing, please see clause 4 and 5 of the Terms and Conditions.

Quality control: RAW files are the digital negative of a photograph. Images require post production to control the quality of my work that's in the public domain. 

As with above for quality control, I do not allow this. It is also against the terms of copyright. 

Additional edits start at £25 each, dependent on the package and/or amount of work required and can be purchased from your online gallery.

My outdoor images are done under a bridge, so rain/cloud/too much sunshine are rarely a problem. The biggest issue can come from the wind, which is very good at messing up hair.  If the weather is too bad, the session will be carried out in-studio. Please note, I have moved a short distance away from where I do my outside shoots, so these can only be booked upon request and are approximately twenty minutes shorter than an equivalent in-studio photoshoot, to accommodate my travel time.

I'm aware that unforeseen events happen and of course recognise the importance of auditions. With this in mind, I try to be as accommodating as possible when it comes to rescheduling, however if I am unable to fill your slot, admin fees may apply. For more information on this, see clause 2 & 3 of the Terms and Conditions.

There are on street parking spaces which are approximately £5ph using PayByPhone between 12pm-2pm. It’s free outside of these hours.

Whilst this isn’t a frequently asked question, I thought I should cover it here. For in-studio sessions, the images are displayed on screen throughout the shoot and when outside, I intermittently show the images on the camera screen. The quality of the images will match, or be better than those displayed throughout the website. If you have any issues during the shoot, please feel free to raise them and I’ll try to accommodate, however if the expectation is to create images unlike any of my previous work, it may not be possible. There is no right to reject the images for any reason and no refund is given. For more information on this, please see clause 6.3 of the Terms and Conditions.
