FAQs

Welcome to my FAQ section! My goal is to make your photography experience seamless and enjoyable. Below are answers to some of the most common questions I receive about my services, my process, and what you can expect when working with me. If you have a question that isn't answered here, please feel free to get in touch.

Brand Photography

What is brand photography? Brand photography is more than just product shots; it's the visual storytelling of your business. It's a curated collection of authentic images that reflect your brand’s personality, values, and mission. These images are used across your website, social media, and marketing materials to connect with your audience on an emotional level and build trust.

How do you help me tell my brand's story? My process begins with a detailed consultation where we dive deep into your brand's unique narrative. We discuss your ideal client, your business goals, and the emotions you want your visuals to evoke. I then translate this information into a visual strategy, ensuring every shot authentically represents your brand's story and vision.

How should I prepare for my brand photoshoot? Once we've scheduled your session, I will send you a detailed preparation guide. It includes tips on styling, choosing locations, and creating a shot list. The most important thing is to arrive with an open mind, ready to have fun and collaborate.

What kind of images will I receive? You will receive a curated gallery of high-resolution, professionally edited images. The final collection typically includes a mix of headshots, product shots, and lifestyle images—all designed to give you a comprehensive visual library for your business.

Cinematic Portrait Photography

What makes a portrait "cinematic"? A cinematic portrait is about creating a powerful, artistic narrative within a single frame. It goes beyond a simple headshot by incorporating dramatic lighting, deliberate composition, and a focus on emotion to create an image that feels like a still from a movie. The goal is to capture your true essence and tell a captivating story.

Where do the portrait sessions take place? I work with clients across London, and we can shoot at a location that best suits your story. This could be a natural setting, an urban backdrop like in East London, or a professionally equipped studio. We will discuss and plan the ideal location during our initial consultation to ensure it aligns with the cinematic vision for your portraits.

Can you help with styling and creative direction? Absolutely. Many of my clients appreciate guidance on styling and creative direction. I am happy to offer advice on wardrobe, hair, and makeup to ensure the final images are cohesive and aligned with the cinematic aesthetic we are creating. My goal is to make you feel confident, comfortable, and empowered throughout the entire process.

Editorial & Event Photography

What is the difference between editorial and event photography? While both capture a story, editorial photography is focused on creating a cohesive series of images for a publication or a specific narrative. Event photography, on the other hand, is about documenting the atmosphere, key moments, and authentic interactions of a live occasion, from small corporate gatherings to large-scale events in London.

How far in advance should I book for an event? I recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance for events to ensure availability and allow ample time for pre-event planning. This gives us the chance to discuss your specific needs, key moments to capture, and the overall narrative of the event.

How do you capture the ‘story’ of an event? I take a documentary-style approach, focusing on candid, unposed moments that reveal the true energy and emotion of the day. I am always looking for the details that bring a story to life—the unspoken connections, the hidden smiles, and the atmosphere that makes your event unique.

General Questions

What is your booking process? The process is simple! You can fill out the contact form on my website, and I will be in touch within 48 hours to schedule a consultation call. We’ll discuss your needs, my creative approach, and what package works best for you. Once we have a plan, a signed contract and a deposit, your date will be secured.

What are your rates? My pricing is based on the scope and specific needs of your project. After our initial consultation, I will provide a custom quote that is transparent and tailored to your vision.

How long does it take to receive my photos? This will depend on the scope of the project. My standard turnaround time for delivery is 2-4 weeks after the photoshoot. I will provide you with a private online gallery where you can view and download your final, high-resolution images.
