What does the price include?
The sitting, the contact sheet, the hand-worked selects and a licence written for the use you actually need rather than for everything forever.
How long until I see anything?
The contact sheet within three days and the worked frames within two weeks. Editorial deadlines are met on the deadline, not near it.
Why is licensing priced separately?
Because a portrait for a family wall and a portrait for a national campaign are the same work and very different value. Pricing them the same would overcharge one of you.
Do you retouch?
Frames are worked by hand: exposure, contrast, colour, and anything genuinely temporary. We do not reshape faces or bodies and will say so before you book.
