It’s recommended to book your photography session at least 2-4 weeks in advance, particularly for popular dates or special events.

I have been a professional photographer for over 18 years. During this time, I have honed my skills across a wide range of photography genres, including commercial, brand, editorial, event, and product photography. My extensive experience allows me to adapt to various situations and deliver high-quality results no matter the challenge.

Yes, I have extensive experience shooting in a variety of environments, including both indoor and outdoor locations, as well as in challenging lighting conditions such as low light or bright, direct sunlight. Whether it’s capturing natural moments at an outdoor wedding, creating dramatic effects indoors, or handling complex lighting scenarios for product photography, I have the skills and equipment to get the best results.

I have worked with a wide range of clients across various industries, including corporate businesses, personal events, and creative projects. Whether it’s a brand launch, a wedding, or an editorial photoshoot, I bring the same level of dedication and professionalism to each job. If you’re in a specific industry, feel free to ask, and I can provide examples of past work that aligns with your needs.

What sets my photography apart is my commitment to quality and attention to detail. I focus on creating images that tell a compelling story, with an emphasis on creativity and technical expertise. My post-production skills, developed over many years, ensure that each image is polished to perfection. I take the time to understand each client’s vision and deliver photos that exceed their expectations, whether it’s for a personal project or a business campaign.

Yes, my work has been recognised in the industry, and I have received several awards and accolades over the years for my photography. I am proud of these achievements, but I’m most focused on ensuring that every client is happy with the results I deliver. Awards are great, but the satisfaction of my clients is my true measure of success.

I only provide final processed images, which have been fully edited to meet my high standards. I believe in delivering images that are polished and ready for use, ensuring that every detail is perfected. While I do not provide raw files, you can be confident that the final images will reflect the vision and quality you expect from a professional photographer.

I use a fully colour-calibrated workflow and professional equipment to ensure that each photo is consistent in quality. From the moment I take the shot, I pay attention to lighting, composition, and technical aspects to ensure the images are of the highest standard. During post-production, I apply colour correction, exposure adjustments, and other enhancements to make sure the photos match your expectations and maintain a cohesive look across all images.

For post-production, I use industry-standard software, including Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. These tools allow me to make precise adjustments to exposure, colour balance, and details, ensuring that every image is optimised for the best result. Lightroom is great for batch processing and colour grading, while Photoshop is used for more detailed retouching and editing when necessary..

The time it takes to edit and deliver the final photos can vary depending on the type of shoot and the number of images. Typically, I aim to deliver a first draft of the images within 1-2 weeks after the shoot, with the final, fully edited images being delivered within 2-4 weeks. For larger projects, such as weddings or events, it may take a little longer. I’ll always provide you with a clear timeline based on your specific requirements.

Yes, I offer a range of retouching and image manipulation services. This includes background removal, adding special effects, skin smoothing, object removal, and other custom edits.

Just let me know what you have in mind, and we can go from there.

Yes, I do charge an additional fee for travel outside my base area, which covers transport and time. The fee is calculated based on the distance and travel time required for the shoot.

Travel costs and accommodation will be quoted separately based on the location and duration of the shoot.

Yes, I can bring studio lighting and props for on-location shoots, depending on the requirements of the session. For many shoots, I use portable lighting equipment to ensure the best results, even in challenging lighting conditions. If specific props are needed for the shoot, I’m happy to discuss your vision and provide any necessary items to enhance the shoot.

Yes, I welcome suggestions for locations and am happy to shoot at a place that’s meaningful to you or fits the theme of the shoot. Whether it’s a favourite park, your home, or a unique venue, I’ll work with you to make sure the location complements your vision. If you’re unsure, I can also suggest suitable locations based on the type of photography you’re after.

If your shoot location is difficult to access, such as a remote or restricted area, I will assess the situation beforehand and make appropriate arrangements. For remote locations, additional travel or accommodation costs may apply, and I may need to consider the logistics of carrying equipment. If access is restricted, I’ll work with you to ensure that any permissions or permits are in place before the shoot, ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day.

To get the most out of your session, I recommend arriving well-rested and prepared. If you’re having a portrait or personal shoot, wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident. I’ll also provide guidance on how to prepare in terms of location, timing, and any specific details we’ve discussed for the shoot. If you have any ideas or preferences, feel free to let me know in advance so we can tailor the session to your vision.

Absolutely! You’re more than welcome to bring your own props or personal items to the photoshoot. Whether it’s something meaningful, like a family heirloom, or a creative addition to enhance the shoot, I’m happy to incorporate them into the session. Just let me know beforehand if you have any specific items in mind, so we can plan accordingly.

Yes, I offer discounts for repeat clients and referrals as a thank-you for your continued trust and support.

Please feel free to ask me about these offers when booking your next service or session.

When preparing for your photoshoot, aim for clothing that reflects your personality while complementing the style of the shoot. Solid colours often work best as they avoid distraction, but feel free to bring a few different outfit options for variety. If you’re unsure, I can provide specific guidance based on the type of shoot we’re doing (e.g. portrait, product, event). Just let me know, and I’ll help you with suggestions.

Your satisfaction is important to me, and I strive to deliver photos that meet your expectations. If there’s something you’re not happy with, I’m happy to discuss it and offer a re-edit to adjust the images according to your preferences. Please keep in mind that all re-edits will be based on the original brief and agreed-upon style. Refunds are not typically offered once the final images have been delivered, but I’ll work with you to ensure that you are pleased with the results.
