We’ve had alot of question recently from various clients asking about our services. We created this section to help answer some of the more common questions.
Here are some of the questions and answers that we feel will help resolve some of your questions and for your shoot, you will know 100% what to expect from a session at Mr. Hardwood Photography:
- Why do I need to meet for a consultation before a shoot: After your initial contact for a shoot, we will schedule you to come in for an in-depth consultation. We are all investing heavily into your personal desires and we want to ensure that we create images that goes beyond anything you have ever dreamed of. The consultation will be at our studio where we will have an opportunity to learn what you and your likes and dislikes. We cater the shoots to fulfill your ultimate fantasies, so the more time we meet for, the more information we can apply to your shoot.
- How long is a shoot: A typical shoot is scheduled for 2-3 hours. This allows for ample set up time and wardrobe changes throughout the session. If a Make Up Artist is on set to assist, we suggest adding extra time allowance for the MUA to do their work and to make your session as special as possible.
- How many images are taken during a session: Our job is to ensure that we take as many shots as needed. You are never charged by the pure number of captures that we take, but we rather shoot more, then to regret not shooting enough afterwards. A greater number of captures means that we can be very strict over the images and present to you only the best of the best. The final number of images that you would see after your shoot is usually in the range of 10-30 images.
- What is the turn around time: We will try to get you your images ready for your viewing and order session within two weeks. After two weeks, you are more than welcome to message us to be updated with a new expected viewing date for your images. Please do not message us before the two weeks or you will be disrupting our strict workflow and causing further delaying everyone images, including yours.
- What happens to the images that I do not order: Images that are not ordered are archived in the event you change your mind. We will keep the images for a limit period of time. After such time that you have not contacted us for orders, those images will be deleted. There are instances where orders are not deleted after a period of time, but those are the exception, not the rule.
- I want all the images from the session, unphotoshopped so that I can photoshop it myself: We can not sell you images that are unedited. Please do not ask for images so that you can photoshop them on your own. If you wanted to do that you should not have come to us for the photography. You hired Mr. Hardwood Photography to create images for you and that is our business to create those breathe taking images for you.
