Because (and I’m sure this doesn’t relate to you) people sometimes cancel with virtually no notice and that leaves me unable to book that day again - so I’m out of pocket.

Deposits are 50% of the quoted fee and non-refundable for that reason. Cancellations made 14 days or more prior to the shoot incur no fee.

You can usually expect the photos back in about a week; sometimes less. If it’s a long shoot with a lot of content it might be a couple of weeks.

If there is a deadline I can/do work to it.

You can book me by contacting me directly via the CTA buttons on any page of this site.

Yes.

For personal and private event shoots, if you don’t want/require one, then there are basic legal rights we both have in the roles of photographer/subject/client anyway -and I’m happy to keep it informal. If you feel safer with a contract I’m happy to provide one.

For any commercial work, or when the job is larger, involves more people, Intellectual Property, loading fees, release forms etc then I do use a contract, or can review and sign the one your company uses.

I also have both personal indemnity insurance and professional liability insurance.

It depends on the shoot. Sometimes brands want a new look, idea or inspiration; sometimes they have a creative team and as the photographer I just interpret and deliver that.

I’m comfortable working with a team during the creative process, being given an agency brief or coming up with creative direction if it’s a smaller budget shoot.
