How early should I book my photo shoot?
I recommend booking the photo shoot 1-4 weeks prior to your desired date.
Occasionally, I may be able to accommodate last-minute requests, subject to my availability, but I cannot guarantee it.
Weather in London
As you know weather in UK is unpredictable. Even if forecasts suggesting rain, we can’t be 100% sure until the day itself.
However, even if it does rain, a photoshoot under the rain can be quite enjoyable and romantic, especially with a lovely transparent umbrella that I can provide. We can even wait for a while as rain in London is often intermittent.
Alternatively, if you prefer, we can reschedule the photoshoot for another day based on both your and my availability. The most important thing is to ensure a wonderful and comfortable experience for you.
Care about your belongings
For minimal distraction please, leave all your valuable things in the hotel. Try to be light and easy to move from one location to another, without being worried about the safety of your possessions.
Some touristic locations are not so safe, so just leave your valuable belongings and passports at the hotel. Don’t let anything spoil your mood and good memories.
Don’t be late
Please arrive on time. Let’s respect each other’s time.
If you think you will be delayed, please text me at least one hour before the scheduled time.
If you arrive late, keep in mind that we will shoot for the remaining time you have booked (if you booked a slot from 9:00 to 10:00 and arrive at 9:15, we will shoot for the remaining 45 minutes).
I suggest arriving early and even having a drink nearby so you don’t begin your experience in a “rushed” state of mind. Remember that traffic in London can be unpredictable.
If you wish to extend beyond the time of your scheduled photoshoot slot and I’m available, it’s charged at a rate of £50 per 30 mins.
After the photoshoot
Following the photoshoot, you have two options for photo selection:
First, I can personally choose the photos. Alternatively, I can send you the entire gallery with watermarked images, allowing you to choose your favourite ones for editing. Once you’ve made your selection, I will edit the chosen photos and send them to you.
If you wish to purchase all the unedited photos, the price is 40-50£. Additionally, you have the option to purchase extra edited photos. Please refer to the pricing page for details on the additional costs.
Editing
I will do my best to edit your photos in a similar style you see on my Instagram and website. However, if you want a different editing style, such as moody, over-exposed, or sepia, you should consider selecting a photographer whose style aligns with your preferences.
Kindly keep in mind that my photography style focuses on Portraits/Lifestyle. During the editing process, I will make adjustments to exposure, sharpness, contrast, and highlights. Additionally, I’ll perform cropping to ensure beautiful composition. I’ll enhance colors, vibrancy, and saturation while also removing any temporary skin imperfections such as acnes and distractions, like trash or other elements that are easy to erase. However, please note that I will not remove people from the background, for instance, at Westminster.
My editing approach does not involve altering body proportions or thinning arms, legs, or chin. I do not replace any body part, remove blemishes, scars, moles, or stains, unless they are easily removable. Additionally I don’t do wrinkles reshaping in your outfits unless it is a straightforward adjustment. Furthermore, I do not remove, reshape, or recreate hair (except in the case of bald spots for gentlemen, if specifically requested).
However if you want any advanced editing it can be arranged for additional fee.
For how long the photos will be available online
Upon receiving the link, kindly download your photos as soon as you can. Also I highly recommend to create a backup. The edited photos will be securely stored on the cloud for a guaranteed period of 6 months. For those who acquired the unedited JPEGs, they will be available online for 1 month. After 6 months, I cannot guarantee the availability of the photos on my hard disk. If you fail to download them before the link expires and I still have the photos, a re-upload fee of £20 will apply to upload them again.
