Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Dear customers, I strive to provide you with high-quality photographic services at competitive prices. My pricing depends on the type of shoot, duration, the number of edited images, and the specifics of each project. All prices are negotiated individually to meet your unique needs. I offer discounts to regular customers and special offers during certain times of the year. Discounts are also possible when booking long or comprehensive photo sessions. All additional costs, such as studio rental, special equipment, or travel expenses, will be discussed in advance, with no hidden fees.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Initial Consultation: I start by discussing your ideas, preferences, and special requests for the photo session. This can be a personal meeting or a discussion over the phone/video conference. I strive to understand your style, shooting goals, and any specific requirements you may have. Planning the Shoot: Based on the preliminary discussion, I develop a concept for the shoot, select locations, discuss outfits and props. At this point, the date and time of the shoot are also finalized. Preparing for the Shoot: I prepare the necessary equipment and accessories for the shoot in advance. Depending on your requirements, I can also arrange for the work of a makeup artist, stylist, and other specialists. The Photo Session Itself: On the day of the shoot, I create a comfortable and friendly atmosphere so that you feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. I use various shooting techniques to capture the best moments and emotions. Post-processing: After the shoot, I carefully process the photos, using professional software to achieve perfect image quality. Delivery of Photos: The finished photos will be provided in a format convenient for you, whether it be digital files or prints, within the agreed timeframe.
