Commissions and rates
Editorial portraits, interiors and still life. Each comes with a set of pictures in agreed shapes, drawn below.
One frame, five shapes
Every commission is shot at 3:2 and cropped for where the pictures will go. You say where; I frame each picture so it still works in the shapes it needs.
3:2
As shot. Double-page spreads, books and the portfolio.
4:5
Magazine pages, prints and the social feed.
1:1
Profile pictures, product grids and square posts.
16:9
Website banners, slides and video covers.
9:16
Stories and phone screens.
Drawn to one height, so the shapes compare at a glance.

Before you commission
How far ahead should I book?
Two to four weeks is usual. Interiors depend on the light, so summer and early autumn fill first (sample).
What if the weather is wrong?
For daylight interiors we pick a back-up date. Moving the shoot to it costs nothing.
Can I have the raw files?
No. You get finished pictures in every agreed shape; raw files are not part of the licence.
Is there a deposit?
A deposit of 30% holds the date and comes off the final invoice (example prices).
