What do I have to do upfront at the start of my photography subscription?
Each subscription includes a brand questionnaire and a collaborative Pinterest board, which must be completed by you at least a week before your first photo session.
What do I need to do before each photo session?
This will depend on what we have discussed in our monthly strategy meetings. I want each session to be easy and stress-free for you so I’ll let you know what to bring and any prep needed. If we’re focusing on casual branding imagery it could mean gathering props to use and cleaning up the place we’re going to photograph in. If it’s products then you’ll need to let me know what you would like photographed so that I can bring the right backdrops and equipment.
When will the photo session take place?
We will discuss a day that best for you, this could be the first Monday of each month or the 10th of the month. Whatever works best for you. It is best to keep a structure so as to remain ahead of your social content planning.
How long are the photo sessions?
You will have a 2 hour photo session each month. If you would like a one-off longer session, or longer sessions as part of your subscription then just ask! I’m more than happy to customise your plan to suit your needs.
Can I split my time into two sessions?
I usually prefer not to as you’d be surprised how fast 1 hour can go by! However, if you have a specific idea in mind then I’m sure we can make arrangements.
Where will the photo session take place?
Where would you like? I always recommend first shooting in the place you work to create authentic brand images. This also fits if you work from home! We can also find other locations if you would rather - London has lovely parks.
Do you shoot outside of London?
I can do yes! This may incur a travel charge on top of your monthly amount, but I will let you know far in advance.
What kind of photography will you do?
During our monthly strategy sessions we will discuss what kind of photography you need for that month. This could be headshots, product images or casual business photographs that show your audience your company’s day-to-day. Each business is different, so each photography subscription will be too. I will tailor each shoot to your unique style and needs.
I run events too, can I get a photography subscription for those?
If it’s a one-off event then we could use that month’s photo session to cover it as part of your usual package (provided it falls within the subscription hours - if the event is longer we can work out extra costs, so just ask!)
If you run monthly events that are around 2 hours then we could set up a subscription package to cover those. Just get in touch using the form below and we can discuss plans!
How many photos will I get?
You will receive 30 new photos each month. If you need more each month or just for a one off then we can discuss this in our monthly consultations, just ask!
How long after the session will I receive my photos?
You will receive your final edits 10 days after the session. I can make a rush order but this will have to be discussed in advance and may incur extra charges.
How will I receive my photos?
When your files are ready you will receive a link via email that allows you to download your files.
What format will the photos be?
All final images are exported as JPGs. You will have multiple sizes of each image: one sized for your chosen social media platform(s), one high-resolution and one web-optimised.
Are the files editable?
All images are final and cannot be edited or altered by you or a third party, with the exception of text overlay and use in social media templates. More information can be found in the terms and conditions we will discuss in our consultations.
How do I pay for my photography subscription?
Your first subscription payment is due on signing your contract. Each monthly payment thereafter is due 7 days after your photo session.
What platforms can I use the photos for?
Any you like! After we’ve had our initial consultation and your brand questionnaire has been filled out, I’ll know where you intend to post your photos. I’ll crop and size your images, and organise them into folders for each platform you use.
Do I own my images?
You will have exclusive commercial rights to your photos. This means you have unlimited usage both online and in print. However, the copyright still remains with me, the photographer. I will only use your photos for self promotion, this could be on my website, in brochures or my social media platforms. More information will be in the terms and conditions we will discuss at the beginning of your subscription.
Do I need to credit you each time I use a photo?
No you do not. I understand that on your website this can look out of place and you won’t want to write it on every social media post. However, my business thrives on word of mouth referrals, so please spread the word if you love the service!
What programs do you use to edit your photos?
I use the Adobe Suite; specifically Photoshop and Lightroom to edit your photos. I also use Adobe XD and Indesign to create social media templates and documents, like you prep and style guides.
