Who are you?
I'm a London based queer cis woman and FSSW of 9 years involved with the local SW community in London. I'm happy to offer references as I completely understand how vulnerable photo shoots can feel.
Do I get a say in how photos are edited?
Yes, of course! If you have particular preferences beforehand please let me know - reference photos are very welcome. I'll send my first edit over for feedback to get an idea of the level of editing you're looking for before continuing with the rest of the edits.
What kind of time frame can I expect?
Please let me know if there is a deadline you would like to meet, generally edits will be with you within 1-2 weeks and I will communicate with you upfront if it's likely to take longer. For extra or re-edits edits please allow another week.
Am I able to sell the photos?
You are more than welcome to put images behind a paywall but please keep in mind all final approved images can be posted on my website and social media. I am open to discussing an extra fee if this is something you wish to renegotiate.
Can you censor my images?
Absolutely! Please let me know what you would like to be censored and if you have any preferences for how you like this to be done. If the final product is not anonymising enough please do let me know - it is absolutely no problem to go back and make sure it's what you're looking for. I will delete photos that haven't been approved so there will be no mix ups. Your safety is the priority.
Do I get to keep the raws?
No, I'm more than happy to edit more photos of your choosing (£15 each or £50 for 5) but I don't give permission for unfinished images to be publicly posted
Do you offer pay what you can?
I'm happy to discuss different options if money is an issue, this can potentially include spreading out payments or useful skill swaps.
Can I bring a friend?
You're more than welcome to have a friend on set behind the scenes, but if you wish to both be in the photoshoot please let me know and we can discuss a duo rate
Do you do outside shoots?
I do, provided we stay within legal limits (i.e. no public indecency). I'd recommend morning or afternoon for outdoor shoots to avoid harsh overhead lighting from midday sun.
I don't know how to pose, is this an issue?
No problem at all. I understand that the majority of us did not go into this industry to become models and how awkward it can feel on the other end of the camera. Let me know which areas you'd like to emphasise or draw attention away from and we can work together to get images you're proud to share.
What is your cancellation policy?
I am happy to carry over the non refundable deposit to a booking within the same month. If the booking is cancelled or rescheduled more than once a new deposit will need to be paid to book.
