My process begins with an in-depth conversation to understand your design vision and the message you want to convey through the images. This initial preparation is crucial for creating a stunning collection of photographs that authentically represent your project and brand.

On the day of the shoot, we start with a walkthrough to familiarize ourselves with the project, exchanging ideas for specific shots in each space. This collaborative approach ensures your vision is captured through my lens, considering factors like lighting conditions throughout the day. Once the planning is complete, I immerse myself in capturing your project.

Throughout the shoot, you'll see me adjusting lighting for different areas and elements within the scene. I often take multiple exposures, blending ambient light with flash to achieve the desired effect. Occasionally, we may incorporate dynamic elements, such as people moving within the scene, to enhance the narrative. Each image is meticulously crafted by blending carefully selected exposures during post-production.

For a full-day shoot, you can expect up to 30 images, while a half-day shoot typically yields around 15 images.

Cost-Sharing | Prior to the photography Session

Split the bill with interested third parties!

We offer the option to share costs with others connected with the project who would like to use the media too, resulting in reduced expenses for each participant compared to commissioning the photographer individually. Second and subsequent license(s) for associated interested third parties are charged at a 40% increment of the booking per party, then divided according to the number of interested parties

The invoice is sent to one party who is responsible for collecting payment from the other parties.

Associated or independent parties interested in obtaining images produced after the project was photographed and delivered to the original licensee may purchase them at the retail cost of £105 per image (including full commercial usage license) . On receipt of payment a license agreement will be supplied to document the transaction and the assets will be supplied thereafter.
