PRICE:

1. Personal Sessions:
- the price is displayed with 24% VAT included

2. Business Sessions:
- When you reach out to me with a request for a business portrait session, 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).
- Through your helpful answers, I can fully understand your vision, scope and technical requirements, and then based on these I can provide you with a proposal and an estimate!

USAGE RIGHTS:
- 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 personal and commercial projects is that the photographer is granting usage rights to the Client, you might hear about this as licencing or use licence.
- The licence-holder gets the copyright owner's official permission to use the licenced images according to the agreed terms.

For personal use: I grant you full rights to use your portrait images for personal digital and print purposes.

For commercial use (business -entrepreneurs, companies): 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.

As your photographer, I reserve the right to use the portraits including but not limited to portfolio, promotional, marketing, competition and editorial purposes.

1. PERSONAL SESSIONS:
- Your booking is complete with full initial payment in advance. Your invoice (with immediate due) will contain the session details.

RE-SCHEDULING, CANCELLATION, REFUNDS & CORRECTIONS

If we are about to work together for the first time, I always recommend checking my portfolio and services as a first step to get a clear picture of what I do, then if they serve as a good reference, simply get in touch to discuss your session!

Regarding I am providing you with a custom production service, no refunds will be offered after the notice period ends. On the other hand, there is a re-scheduling and cancellation policy in place prior to the photoshoot.

To ensure the desired vision is expressed in the final results, I always survey my projects carefully and consider reference images (if any) together with any crucial details mentioned during the negotiations.

In case there is still a need for changes, 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.

TURNAROUND TIME:
- 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.


SELECTION & DELIVERY:
- You will receive the access details of a password-protected online gallery
- here you will select the number of images included in your package + any additional (you will receive an additional invoice for these)
- upon payment received in full, I release your selected images
- you can download your selection directly from the gallery with your unique PIN

TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND:

Even though the most natural results can be achieved by taking a portrait with its originally chosen background, the need to apply white or versatile background colours to personal portraits is in high demand. The need can be different when a portrait is used in your CV vs. when your profile needs to be more creative online for better visibility and recognition.

This is why I offer additional portraits with transparent backgrounds as an extra service for studio-level personal and business portrait sessions, upon request.
