FAQ

Where to start?

If you are interested to work together but you do not have a specific project in mind right now, I am happy to start discovering your needs and goals in order to make the best recommendation for us to work together, so when it's time to discuss a project, the workflow can be smooth and super-efficient.

If you have a specific project to discuss, I will ask you surveying questions that you can respond to flexibly as it fits your schedule (or alternatively we can jump on a Discovery Call via Zoom). Through your helpful answers, I can fully understand your vision, scope and technical requirements. It’s important to put as much detail on your brief as possible to ensure we’re on the same page about your vision and needs, and so that I can provide you with a proposal and an accurate estimate!

Can you help with creative direction?

Absolutely! I am happy to share my ideas and come up with a unique creative concept, as I do this for most of my projects.

Once the concept is finalised and approved, we can move forward with putting these ideas into practice.

How much my project will cost?

Your project is unique and different from the needs of other brands. There’s no one price fits all which is why I tailor a custom price for your project to ensure that my estimate fully reflects your needs.

If you have a specific project to discuss, I will ask you some surveying questions that you can respond to flexibly as it fits your schedule (or alternatively, we can jump on a Discovery Call via Zoom).

How can I use the images?

In nearly all cases, your photographer owns full copyright to the images he/she creates. Buying out the copyright owner is a costly business, this is why the general practice for commercial projects is that the photographer is granting usage rights to the Client - you might hear about this practice being called licencing or use licence.

The licence-holder gets the copyright owner's official permission to use the licenced images according to the agreed terms.

When we will discuss your project, we will also specify your detailed usage rights needs as a part of the project negotiation. It is important to specify these needs correctly, so the license provides you with the required flexibility for the active licence period.

You can also find a guide on this topic if you visit my Instagram and check the Guides menu.

What are your payment terms?

Your booking is complete with a signed agreement + the initial payment of a 50% deposit invoice.

The final (balance) invoice is to be issued when the Final Images are presented in your online client gallery,
and full payment is required to be made prior to image release.

If you prefer a faster image release, you can choose an alternative payment option by taking care of the full payment upfront.

If the project is required to be completed on a rush basis, an extra charge applies + to ensure the fastest image release, full payment is required upfront.

Are you the right photographer for my needs?

I believe in transparency so that you can make the most informed and educated decision possible when deciding on choosing my services or not.

If we are about to work together for the first time, to get a clear picture of what I do, please make sure to check my portfolio and get familiar with my services & processes as a first step. If these served as good references, get in touch to let's start discussing your project!

I run a specialist business, which means that I’m definitely not the right photographer for everyone. On the other hand, I always try to ensure that no booking experience ends without help and value is provided. If it turns out that I cannot provide you with what you’re looking for, I will be more than happy to recommend someone who can.

So let me help you with your decision in an unusual way: I will not be a good fit for you if…
- you are planning a model-focused production (I like to build creative concepts around a product/menu item/recipe and turn this element into the true hero of their visual story)
- you are looking for a family or a wedding photographer (It is not possible to be the jack-of-all-trades in the photography industry without becoming the master of none of the genres, so in addition to my main expertise in commercial food & product photography I offer only portrait sessions)
- you are looking for the cheapest offer on the market (Instead of aiming to bid below my competitors, I offer you my internationally recognised vision and skillset in order to create custom assets. This created value combined with your marketing strategy then translates into visibility, strong brand identity, engagement and revenue = high ROI)

Do you offer refunds and corrections?

I do everything to provide transparency about my services and processes + curate my portfolio in order to help you decide whether you would like to work with me or not.

To ensure the desired vision is expressed in the final results I always survey my projects carefully, consider reference images, and include the aesthetic, mood & style-related preferences together with any crucial details mentioned in a brief, that is part of a mutually signed agreement.

I am providing a custom production service, therefore no refunds will be offered after the photoshoot. On the other hand, there is a cancellation policy in place prior to the photoshoot.

In case there is still a need for changes even though the brief has been delivered, it is certainly possible to do additional post-processing or a re-shoot for an additional charge, based on the type and volume of extra work required.

When can I see the results?

A photographer's turnaround time specifies how long the post-production takes.

My turnaround time is 7-14 days and it is depending on the current workload.
I will give you a more accurate timeline around the shoot day about when you can expect to see the results.

If you do have a deadline, please let me know and I will do everything I can to complete post-production accordingly.

Do you return my products?

Food, perishable, refrigerated or frozen goods, opened packages, and products with labels removed will not be returned in order to respect safety and hygiene measures.

When it comes to any other products or if you provide your props/items for a project, if you would like them to be returned, please take care of the logistics of the return shipping or collect in person. The products, props and items will be stored for no longer than 1 month after the results have been presented.

Does the retainer partnership ideal for my business?

A Retainer Partnership is an ideal choice for brands with a clear & well-established marketing strategy and the constant need for a cohesive collection of visual content with a set frequency.

GENERAL DETAILS - monthly retainer
- Frequency: monthly as standard
- Minimum commitment: 3 months
- Price review: every 12 months (except longer commitment)
- Creative brief: you need to create + provide me with 3 months of creative briefs in advance. Upon request, I can take care of these for you (additional service)

INITIAL TIMELINE - monthly retainer
- When you reach out to express your interest in the retainer partnership, I will send you surveying questions so you can describe your needs. Here you will also have the chance to specify what type of content you need, the frequency of the delivery, and the quantity of content to include with each delivery.
- Based on your needs, I will provide you with a proposal and estimate; similarly, as I do for a one-time project, but your long-term commitment will be rewarded with a discounted price.
- Upon the agreement signing, 2 months of deposit shall be paid upfront to secure your retainer partnership, and all future payments are to be made 1 month in advance to avoid any delays.
- You send / I create (upon request) the creative briefs for 3 months.
