FAQ’s

WHAT ARE YOUR RATES?

I’ll need a little information first, lets jump on a call! Every project is unique, and every client has different needs from a shoot. That’s why I provide a custom estimate for every project after our initial discussion, so I can understand what your needs are.

WHAT ARE YOUR TRAVEL COSTS AND EXPENSES?

Travel is calculated at 50p per mile from my base in Bristol, (BS7). If travelling to London, the cost will be that of a return train journey. Expenses such as parking, congestion charges and the like are charged at cost.

HOW MANY IMAGES CAN I EXPECT FROM A PHOTOSHOOT?

In a days shooting you can expect me to produce about 35 - 40 images. For a half day shoot, around 15 - 20 images.

WHO OWNS THE IMAGE COPYRIGHT

All photos are the copyrighted work of the photographer, and I retain all rights to the photos. As a client, you are provided with a License to use the photos.

You are already very used to a licensing model. When you “buy” a film through Amazon Prime, you don’t actually own the film, but rather, you own a license to watch the film on any of your personal devices for your own entertainment. Likewise, you don’t own Microsoft Word. You own a license to use the software. Photos are the same.

I include a standard usage license with every photo. This usage includes what most design businesses need each day, such as website usage, social media, design competition entries, internal uses, including proposals, printed collateral, and wall displays. I also include usage for editorial purposes. Additional usage may require additional licenses, which can be added anytime.

CAN I SHARE THE FINAL IMAGES WITH THIRD PARTIES

Third-party usage is not permitted unless properly licensed. Any other parties interested in the final photos should either enter the cost sharing agreement in advance of the shoot, or they can license individual photos directly through me after the shoot.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SHOOT OVERRUNS?

In the event the shoot overruns, additional hours will be charged. This will be covered in the proposal I send with my rates.

TRAVEL DAY RATE?

If the shoot is far from my base in Bristol and travel is required the day before or after the shoot, one half of the daily rate will be charged for each travel day.

IMAGE TURN AROUND TIME?

Please allow up to two weeks for the images.

DO I NEED TO PAY A DEPOSIT

A non-refundable deposit is to be paid at the time of booking, which will be 30% of the total cost.
The remaining amount is to be paid before the release of the edited images.

Please note the deposit is non transferable between shoots.

CAN I POST THE IMAGES TO SOCIAL MEDIA?

Of course! The photos are meant to be seen. Social media usage is included in the standard license I provide with every photoshoot. Be sure to tag me @robinqphoto
