Add-on Services
LEVEL-UP
Request my Creative Direction service and let me come up with a cool concept! Following the ideation during our 1-on-1 brainstorming session, I'll put together a customised mood board and shoot list for your approval.
What else?
set styling (food + product, prop) • recipe development • food preparation • in-house modelling • BTS content • staff portraits • location ambience • AI prompt writing for visuals & copy • copywriting • basic graphic design • unique file-naming • application of watermark + other special requests
These add-ons can be booked with your project or as stand-alone services.
Let me walk you through each step of my creative process! This is what happens next...
1. Inquiry
If my portfolio, services and FAQs prove to be a good introduction & reference, you might decide to work with me on your upcoming campaigns.
To provide you with an accurate estimate I will need to learn more about your project. Please get in touch via the Client Survey, so I can get a clear picture of your needs and send you a proposal.
Requesting my ideas/concepts before booking requires your acceptance of a protective term.
2. Onboarding & Booking
Upon your positive decision on the proposal, I will request your business, invoicing and signatory details that you can provide via a handy onboarding form (or email).
Your booking is complete with a mutually signed agreement and a 50% deposit payment received. If you prefer the immediate release of your selected visuals, you can also pay upfront.
3. Pre-production
I send your 'Client Homework' = a summary of a few tasks you shall complete during the project so we can progress efficiently & avoid delays.
To finalise the brief, you shall either
- provide it in full (inspiration, mood board, shot list, branding assets)
- or request my Creative Direction service, and following our brainstorming session I will put together a mood board + shoot list for your approval.
Send your products, and when they arrive, I start the sourcing process by getting the necessary ingredients and props for the production day(s).
4. Production (shooting days)
It's time to bring those inspiring concepts to life!
Unless I'm working on a specific location within Finland or abroad, I always work independently in my studio (remote approval possibility to be discussed upon request).
The duration of the production depends on the project and can vary from one to several days. I can cover everything under one roof from food preparation to styling, lighting, directing and capturing each scene.
After wrapping up the final set, anything non-returnable will be disposed of.
5. Post-production
In addition to culling and editing, I also offer retouching in order to achieve perfectly spotless and even magical results.
I export the files according to the agreed specs and the long list of proofs will be uploaded to your exclusive client gallery for your review and selection.
6. Selection (proofing)
I send you the gallery access info & instructions, along with any remaining invoices.
Then comes the most exciting moment of the project when you review the fresh visuals for the first time. The 1-month storage period also starts for any returnables.
To ensure a smooth release process, I ask you to complete + confirm your selection within 5 days.
7. Download & use
Once the project is complete and all payments are received, I release your confirmed selection of visuals to download.
Download within 30 days, then you can start to use your brand-new assets along with the agreed terms. You have the option to buy rights for additional visuals of the shoot for up to 1 year, and you can also request additional rights when needed.
Retainer Partnership
Let me take care of the creative content creation every month, so you can focus more on bringing your brand to success. I will deliver fresh sets of scroll-stopping visuals, that speak to your target audience in your brands' native language.
Becoming partners requires a minimum 3 months commitment, but in return, you will be rewarded with a yummy 20% discount.
I can also cover less frequent needs:
- bi-monthly retainer: 15% discount for min. 6-months commitment
- quarterly retainer: 10% discount for min. 12-months commitment
- anything less frequent are considered as individual projects.
Never run out of eye-catching visuals again!
I have your back during hardships + reward your trust!
Since I become an entrepreneur I had to navigate through the pandemic, the war and the aftermath of a global recession. I'm deeply grateful for my clients for they support during hardships, so I always find a way to support struggling business segments via limited offers, so they can keep up their marketing efforts.
I truly appreciate when someone is placing their trust in my services - be it for the first time or the 100th of time. This is why I like to transform gratitude into real value via designing special deals time to time for both new + returning clients. When they are not benefiting from one of the special offers, I reward loyal clients with the opportunity to collect occasional bonuses that aim to honour supportive efforts like referrals, repeated business, honest feedback, and many more...

What's the price?
Though I'd love for the answer to be simple and display a price-list right here, but
my goal with every project is to create unique content that sets a brand apart from others.
When it comes to custom productions, there’s no one price fits all - this is why my approach involves providing a custom estimate specifically for YOUR project to ensure that the pricing fully reflects to your needs + the creative brief. Without these details, only generic ballparks can be outlined.
I will ask you to complete the Client Survey as it fits your schedule (or alternatively jump onto a call) and based on your helpful answers I can provide you with a fully customised proposal & estimate within 48 hours.
Production FAQ + Terms
Are we a good fit?
I run a specialist business, which means that I'm not the right vendor for everyone.
Based on 5+ years of professional experience, I can clearly outline the main factors that can make or break our efficient collaboration.
We will be a good fit if...
✔ You are looking for a creative vendor with a high level of accuracy and a down-to-earth approach (I'm constantly improving both my skillset and the client experience to ensure exceptional results & accurate project management with good vibes).
✔ You are responsive and available to complete a brief “Client Homework” (I will guide you through the process + avoid unnecessary emails and calls, but there are certain steps where your kind help and input are key for good progress)
✔ You agree with the pre-established timeline and deliverables (this will avoid delays and added costs)
✔ You are confident that custom visuals will help you sell, stand out, and bring profit to your business (I do my utmost best to create new assets that bring the desired value to your operation)
✔ You can trust in my vision and expertise for our project (the best partnerships are built via collaborations where everyone feels their efforts & skills are equally important, trusted and valued).
We might not be the best fit if...
✘ You are looking for a family or a wedding photographer (I master my genre without being the jack-of-all-trades)
✘ You are looking for a fully model-focused production (I like to build creative concepts around a product/menu item/recipe and turn this element into the true hero, so no human element shall be overpowering)
✘ You are not ready to make the investment, or thinking that this project will be another cost without ROI (the valuable assets I create combined with your marketing strategy shall translate into visibility, strong brand identity, engagement and revenue = high ROI)
✘ You are not responsive or wish to micro-manage my responsibilities (in order to succeed and avoid delays, I kindly ask you to communicate with me, adhere to the timelines and trust in my vision).
Where to start?
I believe in transparency so that you can make the most informed and educated decision possible when considering my services.
If we are about to work together for the first time, to get a clear picture of what I do: as a first step, please make sure to check my portfolio and get familiar with my services & processes. If these served as good references, please get in touch by filling out the Client Survey as it fits your schedule (or jump onto a call) and based on your helpful answers I can provide you with a proposal & estimate.
There is no project in the queue right now?
I still recommend jumping onto a discovery call for an introduction and let's start outlining your needs and goals now - so I can make the best recommendation for us to work together on your upcoming projects in the future.
Can you come up with a cool idea for my brand?
You may wish to provide a full creative brief (inspiration, mood board, shot list, branding assets etc.) for your project...
But if you do not wish to spend hours trying to come up with visual ideas, and then translate them into plain words to create the necessary guidelines, simply request my Creative Direction service and I will take care of it all!
I created numerous successful and even award-worthy concepts for my clients that got intertwined with their well-recognisable brand identity - so I am confident that I can also provide you with unique ideas that resonate with your brand's style and personality!
Creative Direction service
✦ Following the ideation during our 30-minute 1-on-1 brainstorming session I will put together a mood board + shoot list for your approval.
✦ Book it as a project add-on or as a stand-alone service.
✦ The service fee stays billable in case you reject the proposal/estimate, or the project gets cancelled later on, but you will get permission to assign my shared concepts to another entity or attempt to execute them independently.
Requesting my ideas / creative concepts before signing an agreement
In this case, I kindly ask that we establish an understanding to protect these ideas, so you need to agree to the following terms:
1. I'll be sharing my creative concepts and ideas with you in good faith, predicated on the understanding that these ideas remain proprietary to me.
2. Should you decide not to engage with my services for this project and decline my proposal, agreement or terms & conditions, whether in whole or in part, you acknowledge and agree that you will either:
a) pay the Creative Direction fee as outlined in my proposal and get permission to assign my shared concepts to another entity or attempt to execute them independently;
b) or not use, reproduce or assign my shared concepts to another entity or attempt to execute them independently/in-house.
Can you provide the agreement?
I quickly realised at the beginning of my professional career, that general terms companies can provide for collaborations and influencer marketing are not suitable for production assignments without heavy customisation - which automatically increased legal fees + time spent with negotiation.
I wanted to offer a better solution for my clients that protects their interests and follows the directions of the industry, so I decided to cover all aspects of my operation with corporate-level documents: a project-specific agreement & lawyer-approved terms. As part of my digital process, these can be signed online.
To ensure they stay up-to-date, the agreement and terms get reviewed from time to time, in collaboration with an international copyright and trademark specialist legal professional.
I have used these documents with great success in the past 5+ years. Regardless of the project size, they proved to be suitable for startup to enterprise-level businesses within my international clientele (including the EU & USA).
In the rare case, that we need to negotiate things further to iron out the agreement, I can surely consider your comments on specific paragraphs.
What are your payment terms?
General payment terms
✦ Your booking is complete with a mutually signed agreement + an initial payment of 50% deposit.
✦ You will receive the balance invoice when the previews of the Final Images are presented for your selection.
✦ The images will be released upon all payments being received.
Faster image release
If you prefer getting quick access to your confirmed selection of visuals, you can choose to take care of the full payment upfront / pay the outstanding fees right away.
Projects on a rush basis
I am ready to help with your last-minute needs and meet short deadlines, but this always requires me to work irregular hours and often overnight. Therefore, to ensure the fastest image release, an extra charge applies + full payment is required upfront.
Retainers
Smoothly running retainers + release upon completed proofing requires that the payments are made upfront, based on the retainer schedule.
Can I be present at the production?
Unless I shoot on location within Finland or abroad, I work remotely from my studio with all my clients.
The creative brief (inspiration, mood board, shot list, branding assets etc.) is to be provided/approved in advance. Its role is to outline the creative direction and eliminate any related concerns.
For transparency, I'm happy to share some statistics from my past projects:
- 98% of the projects have been delivered without reshoot requests.
- the remaining 2% ended up as full/partial reshoots for the reason of the client's change of direction on the original concept, but never because of poor execution.
Most of the time I cover all aspects of my productions as a one-person-team, I prefer to avoid all distractions and pay full attention to the technical and creative part of my creation process, therefore I prefer to work alone.
I understand that you might be used to supervising your previous vendors closely, or you would like to use the opportunity to bring your social media team to film short-form videos for TikTok on set, but unfortunately, I cannot accommodate these requests without sacrificing the quality that brought me a wast list of awards.
However, if you need BTS content in addition to your deliverables, I'm happy to discuss the possibilities and the related fees.
In a few exceptional cases, where it is strictly required to arrange approvals, we can discuss if this would be possible remotely (for example via WhatsApp messages). On the other hand, for any concepts that require a post-production composite of multiple images, only the basic composition or partial results can be provided.
When can I see the results?
A photographer's turnaround time specifies how long the post-production takes = when you can see the previews and start your selection process.
My turnaround time
I will present you with the previews within 7-14 days after the shoot - depending on the current workload.
Around the shoot day, I will give you a more accurate timeline.
Deadlines
If you do have a deadline, please let me know and I will do everything I can to complete post-production accordingly - even on a rush basis if needed.
Additional visuals
If you require more than the deliverables included in your original package (and there were more options in the proofs), then you can separately purchase more visuals from the shoot for up to 1 year.
How can I use the images? Do I own them?
As part of the Client Survey, you will specify your preferred usage rights so you will have the desired flexibility to use your selected visuals.
You can always request a rights extension if something changes later on the way - for example if you wish to start using the visuals not only in digital media but also in print, or plan to publish a book / update your product packaging.
But why do we even talk about rights & licencing?
✦ As the creator of the visuals (image, video...), I, the photographer will be the legal owner of the assets (intellectual property) and their copyright.
✦ To avoid the expensive buy-out process, the industry has an affordable practice, the so-called licencing: the client gets the photographer's written permission to use the licensed visuals according to the agreed terms - that specify who, how, where, and how long can use a visual.
✦ Always require a written licensing agreement that states your rights - it is the only way to prove your rightful use of a copyright-protected asset. (This is included in all of my agreements).
Stock photos vs. custom imagery
✦ When you use stock photos, you pay for the licensing to rightfully use certain ready-made visuals - these do not feature your products or tell a specific story about your brand.
✦ When you choose custom production services, in addition to licensing the resulting visuals, you shall also cover the creation of the custom visual content from scratch.
✦ You can easily compare the prices of custom imagery and stock photos by selecting similar rights at these sites. For example, a royalty-free licence for an image with a random strawberry cake slice on the stock photo site called Getty Images starts at €115/small (price as of August 2023).
Do you offer refunds and corrections?
Please get familiar with my work before booking
✦ You have full access to my portfolio, services and a generous amount of guiding information on this website.
✦ I am also happy to assist you if contact me with further questions.
Refunds
✦ I am providing a custom production service, therefore no refunds will be offered after the shoot day(s).
✦ On the other hand, there is a cancellation policy in place prior the production.
Corrections
✦ When the mutually signed brief has been delivered completely, but you change your mind, we can surely cover any change requests (additional post-processing, re-shoot etc.) - I’ll simply add the fees of extra work to the final invoice.
✦ If you still feel the delivery of the brief was incomplete, you may submit a change request with a valid explanation that will be subject to assessment.
Do you return my products?
This line of work requires the clients to provide products or services for the production of their project, therefore these are not considered / accepted as a form of compensation.
Non-returnables
Food, perishable, refrigerated or frozen goods, opened packages, and products with labels removed or compromised are ( for safety reasons) considered non-returnable and will be disposed of.
Returnables
If you wish any other products or props/items you provided for the production to be returned, please take care of the logistics of the return shipping (provide a return label) or collect them within the storage period (info below), after which, the products are to be disposed of.
Storage time
The returnable products, props and items will be stored for up to 1 month - starting when the preview of the results (proofs) has been presented.
Would a monthly retainer be ideal for my business?
