Q&A’s
-
We collaborate to create an image list and a shooting plan to align with your brand and values and I understand how the images are going to be used so they are delivered in the optimum format.
-
I have access to a network of well trained dogs of various breeds. Once I have a feel for your brand, products and what you would like to achieve, I can make recommendations and give you contact details, but it is not part of my service.
-
I can shoot in most weathers - but driving rain and high winds usually stops play! When working with animals (and children!) I am led by them and their handlers - who 100% know them best. I never stress out an animal for a photograph. In both instances I would reschedule to a backup day and perhaps discuss how to work to the dogs strengths at the next shoot.
-
Absolutely yes. I can either use my home studio in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, or bring my mobile studio to your location. Some dogs do react to flashing lights (usually linked to previous trauma or sensitivity), so good to check this before booking them.
-
Absolutely yes. Just let me know this in advance so I choose a background that is easy to remove.
-
I request a deposit to confirm your booking and the shoot date, and the balance is due when I’m ready to deliver your images.
