FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My hourly rate will be firm, particularly if the engagement is for a short duration of 1-2 hours. However, there may be some flexibility in the rate if the event requires a longer duration, provided that it does not compromise my expertise. No additional travel fee will be charged unless the total round-trip distance is less than 25 miles.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
If you’re a potential customer, once you reach out to me here, I’ll likely schedule a quick phone call or Zoom meeting with you. During this call, we’ll discuss and understand your exact requirements while also giving you an overview of my work and the timeline for deliverables. Once we’ve finalized the details, you’ll need to pay a booking fee, which is 60% of the total price quoted. I’ll then send you a contract outlining all the agreed-upon terms, including the refund and cancellation policies as discussed. The remaining payment will be made 72 hours before the event to prevent any last-minute cancellations. Finally, on the shoot day, we’ll meet and you’ll get some beautiful pictures!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a self-taught photographer lacking formal training, I firmly believe in the value of learning from experienced professionals, whether through online platforms or in-person workshops. I have actively participated in numerous local workshops and meetups, which have provided me with valuable insights and opportunities to observe the techniques and approaches of seasoned professionals. With a decade of experience in photography, I am constantly motivated to expand my knowledge and skills.
