Services

What kind of photography do you offer?
I specialise in portrait photography, including personal portraits, headshots, and editorial work for individuals, artists, and freelancers. I also offer lifestyle and still life photography for select brands, focusing on travel, wellbeing, food, and curated products such as jewellery or beauty items.

Do you shoot weddings or events?
No — I do not offer weddings or events.

What is your style?
My style is calm, natural, and often cinematic. I focus on authenticity and thoughtful direction. Please review my portfolio to get a sense of my approach. I do not replicate other photographers' work or create outside my style.

Can I share references?
Yes — references are welcome to help guide the mood or direction. I do not recreate exact images or copy another photographer’s style.

What equipment do you use?
I work with both digital and analogue cameras, along with professional lenses and lighting. I do not use phones for any commissioned work.

Booking & payment

How do I book?
You can get in touch through the contact form or by email. Booking in advance is recommended, as availability is limited.

Is a deposit required?
Yes — a 50% non-refundable deposit is required for sessions over £300 to confirm your booking.

How do I pay?
The deposit is due before the shoot. The remaining balance is due before final images are delivered. Invoices are sent by email.

What payment methods do you accept?
I accept bank transfers and cash.

Are there commercial licensing fees?
Yes — licensing fees depend on the usage and scope of the project. Please get in touch for a tailored quote.

Sessions

What are your rates?
On-location sessions are £225 and include one hour and 25 retouched images.
Studio sessions are £325 and include one hour with 20 retouched images. One backdrop is included; extra backdrops are £15 each.
Lifestyle and still life work is quoted per project.

How is time calculated?
Session time includes the shoot itself, as well as time for setup, outfit changes, and brief location transitions if shooting outdoors.

Can I extend the session?
Yes — if my schedule allows, additional time can be added and is charged accordingly.

What if we go over time?
A small overrun of up to 15 minutes is fine. For anything longer, additional charges apply.

Prep

How are locations chosen?
For outdoor sessions, you’re welcome to suggest a location. I can also recommend spots based on light and visual style. If permissions are required, we’ll arrange that in advance.

What should I wear?
Wear something that feels comfortable and reflects your style. Solid colours and simple patterns usually work best. I’m happy to offer styling advice if needed.

Can I bring props or pets?
Yes — as long as they’re relevant to the session. Please let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly.

What if the weather is bad?
If the weather isn’t suitable, we can either reschedule or move the session indoors. I will keep an eye on the forecast and contact you beforehand.

Do you offer makeup services?
No — makeup and styling should be arranged separately if needed.

Delivery

When will I receive my photos?
Final images are delivered within one week of the session.

Can I get them sooner?
Yes — expedited delivery is available for an additional fee. Please let me know in advance.

How will I receive my photos?
Final images are delivered via WeTransfer. I do not use online galleries or proofing platforms.

Do you provide raw files?
No — I only deliver fully edited final images. Black-and-white versions can be provided on request.

How long are photos stored?
Final images are kept for up to one year. Please save your files once delivered.

Will my photos be shared publicly?
Images may appear on my website portfolio. If you prefer not to be featured, please let me know. I do not share client work on social media.
