The information below provides additional clarity around bookings, photography, post-production, delivery, and project expectations.
Booking and Project Information
Project details including dates, times, locations, key people, deliverables, scheduling, and any specific requirements are generally confirmed during the quotation and booking process.
My services include standard communication, photography time, gentle direction where appropriate, image selection support, and professional post-production.
Additional fees may apply for extensive rescheduling, expanded briefing requirements, urgent delivery requests, additional administration, or project coordination outside the original booking scope.
Planning and Creative Direction
Some projects are straightforward, while others may require additional planning before photography begins.
Where required, I can assist with creative direction, scheduling, logistics, image style, timing, locations, wardrobe guidance, team coordination, and intended outcomes to help keep projects calm, efficient, and aligned with the brief.
Additional planning, consultation, or creative direction may be billed separately at standard commercial rates where required.
Project Scope and Workflow
Photography often involves managing people, environments, lighting conditions, timelines, and the best experience for everyone involved.
Additional locations, expanded shot requirements, increased stakeholder involvement, revised scheduling, background changes, additional team members, extra production requirements, or significant project growth may affect timing, workflow, and project cost.
Where projects extend beyond the original agreed scope, additional time or services may be billed separately.
Documentary, Editorial and Event Photography
Documentary, editorial and event photography often involves working in unstaged environments, where moments cannot always be directed, repeated, controlled, or created on request.
While every effort is made to meet the brief, outcomes may be influenced by the time available, access, participant availability, event flow, natural timing, and what actually unfolds during photography.
In these situations, the full brief may not always be possible to achieve exactly as requested. The focus is on creating strong, authentic, useful images within the available conditions while respecting the subjects and environment.
Image Selection and Delivery
The number of final edited images is discussed during the quotation or booking process and forms part of the agreed project scope.
During studio or on-location sessions, images may be reviewed tethered to a computer so everybody feels confident with the direction and outcome.
For larger projects, a secure online gallery may be supplied so preferred images can be selected prior to final post-production.
Please note: gallery images or tethered previews are selection previews only and have not yet received final colour balancing or retouching.
Skin tones, white balance, brightness, and overall consistency are carefully refined during final editing, so please focus primarily on selecting the expressions, moments, and images you like most.
Delivery is within 7 working days unless otherwise agreed.
Urgent bookings or faster turnaround incur an additional fee.
Post-Production and File Supply
Final edited images are supplied as full-resolution JPG files.
RAW files are not included unless specifically discussed and licensed separately prior to photography.
Additional fees may apply depending on intended usage and the scope of the request.
Additional images from any session are currently $50 + GST each to cover additional professional post-production time.
Included post-production for portraits and headshots generally includes colour balancing, exposure adjustment, highlight adjustment, skin tidy, teeth whitening, hair tidy, and removal of fluff, hairs, and debris from clothing where appropriate.
If more advanced Photoshop work is requested, such as reducing bags under the eyes, removing double chins, object removal, or body shape adjustments, this is billed at $75 + GST per image.
Subjects Under 18
Subjects under 18 require an accompanying adult during the session.
