Frequently asked questions

What determines your rates?

I calculate my rates based on the client’s requirements and the time necessary to complete the task. The better the presentation of the image, the lower the prices (for example if the model has naturally good skin texture, less time would then be spent on the image, otherwise if the clothes are crumpled or the light is poor then more work would be required).

What is the delivery time?

Usually between 2-7 business days, but depending on the level of retouch required and the number of images sent individually deadlines of the project are discussed at the time of the quotation.

Can you accept an urgent order?

Yes. The urgent orders may be completed in 1-2 days, and this will add up 50% of the cost to the total.

What information is needed for a quote?

Retouching requirements
A preview of the images that need retouching (these will be used to analyse the amount of work that these would need based on the type of retouch selected)
Deadline
Budget - optional
Reference picture (or moodboard) – optional
Special requirements – optional
Notes - optional

What is the best way to send my photos?

The most common way are via Dropbox , Google Drive or Wetransfer, but whatever preserves the quality of the images is acceptable. I work with RAW format, preferably, but TIFF, PSD or JPEG are also accepted.

In what format do you deliver?

Most of my clients prefer JPEG, but I can also offer flattened TIFF or PSD.

What payment types are accepted?

I accept payments via Paypal, Bank Transfer or TransferGo/TransferWise. Money Gram or Western Union can also be an option.

What currencies do you accept?

I accept payment is Pound Sterling (£) only. For Euros (€) and USD ($) an agreement must be established at the time of booking. If you do require making a payment in a different currency, please do let me know and we can further discuss options.

Do you usually make a test picture?

Most of my clients are not asking for a test image, but I am happy to discuss this option if required. The image would be sent back with a watermark and no usage would be permitted if the payment is not processed.
