Prepayment and Payment conditions

To book a photoshoot I require prepayment (30 Euros). This is my guarantee that you will show up at the precise time and date. So I book this time and date specifically for you and refuse other clients. Prepayment is 100% refundable if you cancel (for any reason) up to 1 month before the photoshoot. If you cancel less than 1 month before the photoshoot (for ANY reason) – prepayment is not refundable.

The rest of the payment should be done after the end of the photo session the same day by cash.  Full payment should be done not later than the next day after the photo session. I do not touch the pictures until the payment is completed. If the full payment is not received in the week following the photo session day, the pictures will be deleted and the photo session considered canceled.

About timing and transportation

During the one-hour photo session, we stay in one area and take pictures in nearby locations (such as Trocadero square and cafés for example). If you want to pick up locations which are further from each other (such as Trocadéro + Louvre), you need to order longer packages (2 hours or more). 

Keep in mind that moving from one location to another and changing outfits is also counted as the photo session’s time. We usually take Uber when changing locations. Travel cost between locations is also not included in the package price.

About the weather in Paris

The weather in Paris is unpredictable. Even if the forecast insists that will rain, we cannot be a 100 % sure until that same morning.

But if it happens and it rains that day, don’t get upset- we can always take a nice umbrella and continue our photo. And it’s so romantic to dance in the rain in Paris.

We can also wait for the rain to stop because it often doesn’t last long.

There is a possibility to shift a photo session due to very bad weather conditions. Of course, it depends on the photographer’s schedule and it requires a bit of flexibility which can be an issue during the High Season time. So i can not give you 100% guarantee of changing date/time in case of an undesired weather forecast. 

In case in the morning of the photoshoot it showers with rain and the photographer takes a decision that the conditions are not suitable to perform the photo shoot, and there is no other option to shift photoshoot for another time/date, photoshoot will be canceled with 100% prepayment refund.

What the postproduction includes

Photo retouching includes – color correction, sharpness, crop, skin softening on the portrait pictures if necessary, removing temporary skin defects such as bruises or pimples. Removing trash from the ground and objects from background which photographer finds necessary and possible to erase. If during photoshoot you will obtain a small stain or make a small hole in the dress, of course, i will do my best to erase it (depends on the proportion of the damage).

It DOES NOT include heavy magazine style retouching – changing colors and details of your outfit, painting over the picture (painting the make up, cleaning dirty or mending torn clothes and so on), removing things from your body (tattoos, braces, dark circles, signs of aging),  radically changing body shapes (though i can mend a bit here and there, but not radically), adding/removing big objects to/from the picture (collaging).

Before photo session with photographer in Paris take care of your look, hair style and make-up.

All retouched pictures are going to be edited according to photographer’s taste as shown in portfolio. There is no DO-over of the editing pictures according to your taste (for example, i would never do brown color correction with lot’s of grain on the picture as it’s not my style at all, it is also won’t be possible to make a sunny day out of the cloudy one).
