See Services & Pricing Page for detailed information.

I use Jotform for the collection of personal and sensitive information. Please see my Privacy Policy Page for more information.

When I complete a service, the images are yours upon confirmation of the receipt. This is treated different to my public galleries. 

For terms of use regarding publicly available content on my site, please see my Copyright & Terms of Service Page for more information.

I provide all my own gear, unless you specify your own at request. 

I generally shoot handheld, but use a tripod for special circumstances (i.e. portraits/headshots and long-exposure/night shots). 

I carry backup batteries and memory cards to prevent worst-case scenarios. Fear not!

Camera: Canon EOS R10

Lens: 17-55mm f/2.8 Zoom (AutoFoc. & ImgStab.)

Flash: Godox V1 Flash

Software: Adobe CC Lightroom + Photoshop

I spend an great deal of time on each image to make sure they're all the highest quality they can be.

These types of images cause more issues than they solve, and create confusion and inconsistency in my service.

There is no need for having access to the RAW/unprocessed image - you are getting the best possible pictures already. ³

I do not provide backdrops sorry, but I'm more than happy to use one provided by yourself/venue!

I can improvise a backdrop using scenery and nature (gardens, walls and landscapes), and most of the time, these have a better natural result.

See Services & Pricing Page for detailed information.

In formal settings, I usually opt for a portrait, vibrant, monochrome or vintage presets.

For gigs and events/parties, I will combine these presets with experimental and 'edgy' profiles, using grain and boosted exposures as an artistic choice.

Online payment portal Square® is used for all payments through their digital payment system.

Payment is made once all details have been finalized and confirmed. Minor changes can be made post-payment. 

Please contact me if there are concerns or issues regarding details. ¹

I cannot accept cash.

I usually take around 5 business days to return a gallery, depending on my current work-load. I have many commitments between University and work, and certain periods of the year are busier than others.

In the rare-event where there is a delay, I will be transparent, communicating necessary details with you via your provided email.

Galleries are delivered through Google Drive online. You will receive a URL to your provided email with the ability to download to your device.

I do not charge for post-processing or delivery of galleries, this is complimentary and is included in the one-time fee. 

Every effort is made to provide the best service I can, delivering as many high-quality images for you.

Each standard photoshoot session will usually generate around 20 processed images/hour of shooting. This may vary depending on your requirements and the type of shoot I am providing. ²

I believe in quality over quantity; there's a lot of time and work behind each image, and rushing through a photoshoot results in poor quality pictures. 

Adding more images to a gallery increases my workload, resulting in lower quality and unnecessary images.

Larger requested jobs with many processed images (60+) will attract a higher fee to be negotiated before payment. This is due to longer post-processing time required on my end. 

Phew! Q&A over. This is what I enjoy talking about.

Bands are like having children. You don't have a favorite. 

I go through waves where I listen to different stuff, always changing depending on my listening habits!

The images I take are yours. Once you get them, you are free to share, distribute and edit as you desire.

I understand that everybody has a different level of privacy that they wish to uphold online, and I will respect that and only share with your permission.

As part of my learning; I may, with your permission, request to use your gallery as part of my site/social media to support my portfolio. I may also request to use your images as part of my learning for my Bachelor's Degree at Flinders University.

You can request to have your gallery or individual images removed in the future at request. Each image has a reference number in the name (i.e. 001, 034, 089, etc.). You can quote me the number or show me which one.

I don't use watermarks! Once the image is provided to you, it's yours. You are free to do whatever you like with it. 

I appreciate and love to see my work being used and shared online.

You are by no means required or expected to, but you can always tag me on my Instagram account!
