How a booking works
Most commissions are a single day on location. Weather is part of the plan, not a surprise.
- 01
Tell me about the place
Where it is, what the photographs are for, and any dates that matter. The booking form asks the right questions.
- 02
A plan and a fixed quote
I reply with a shot list, the best time of day for the light, a weather back-up date and one price for the job.
- 03
Shoot, edit, deliver
You get a contact sheet within two days and the finished files within a week, with the licence written in plain words.
What you get
The same for every booking, whatever the size.
- Edited files in two sizes
- Full resolution for print and a web size, named and ordered to match the shot list.
- A contact sheet first
- Every usable frame, so you choose the final set, not just me.
- Honest edits
- Colour, exposure and straight verticals. Nothing added or removed from a building or a view without asking first.
- A weather day
- If the light is wrong on the day, we move to the back-up date at no extra cost.
- A licence you can read
- One page that says where you can use the photos, for how long, and what needs asking.
- Prints on request
- Archival prints of any frame in the portfolio, made and checked before they're sent.

Questions
Do you travel?
Yes. Travel time and costs are quoted with the plan, before you agree to anything.
What if the weather is wrong?
Every booking has a back-up date. If the light on the day won't give you the photographs we planned, we move, at no extra cost.
Can we use the photos for anything?
The standard licence covers your website, social posts, reports and print. Advertising, resale and exclusive use are quoted separately.
Do you photograph people?
Only as part of a place, such as a figure in a doorway for scale. No portraits, events or weddings.
Can I buy a print?
Yes, any frame from the portfolio. Use the booking form and choose Prints.
Have a place in mind?
Tell me where it is and what the photographs are for. I'll reply with a plan and a quote.
