A shoot date is held for 5 working days after we send a quote. It is confirmed when the quote is signed and a 30% deposit is paid.

Cancel more than 14 days before the shoot and we refund the deposit minus any costs already incurred. Within 14 days, the deposit is kept; within 48 hours, 70% of the day rate is due.

Weather and reshoots

Location shoots include one weather day at no fee. If a frame we delivered does not match the signed brief, we reshoot it at our cost.

Start here.

The questions brands and agencies ask us most, before the first call.

With a twenty-minute call. We ask about the product, the date, where the images will run and what has not worked before. If it fits, you get a one-page treatment and a quote within two working days.

Both. About half our work comes through agencies. We slot into their production schedule, and we are happy to work to their art direction and lighting references.

The photographer, a first assistant, the studio, our lighting kit, tethering, a producer and a first-pass grade on selected frames. Hair, make-up, styling, casting and locations are quoted separately at cost.

As many as the brief needs. A full studio day typically yields 25 to 40 finished images. Every frame is shot tethered, so you choose your selects on set.

You receive a licence for the uses, markets and period in your brief, usually 12 or 24 months. Extensions are a single line on an invoice, and we never charge for internal or archival use.

Yes. We light once for both and alternate takes, which usually costs about 40% more than a stills day and saves a second shoot.

Four to six weeks for a campaign. Content days can often be booked two weeks out. Rush work is possible; ask.

No pitch deck. A conversation.
Every shoot starts with a twenty-minute call about the product, the date and the light.
