What happens after you send an enquiry
The steps from first email to final files, so you know what to expect before we talk.

People often ask what happens once they get in touch. Here is the whole process, start to finish.
The call
We talk for half an hour about what the photographs are for, where they will live and how they should feel. I send a one page brief and a quote within two days.
Planning
Location, team, styling and a shot list. I share references so we agree on the light before the day.
The shoot and after
One or two days on set. A first edit within a week, final files within two, with a licence for the uses we agreed.
