About working with me

Why should I use a professional photographer?
A professional photographer brings experience, technical skill and reliability that ensures consistent, high-quality results. With over 15 years’ experience, I understand how to work with light, people and environments to produce images that are polished, usable and fit for professional communications. I also provide secure backups, professional insurance and a dependable workflow from shoot to delivery.

What type of photography do you specialise in?
I specialise in corporate photography, event photography and professional portraits, working primarily with businesses, universities, institutions and organisations. This includes corporate headshots, conferences and events, editorial portraits and PR imagery.

Where are you based and which areas do you cover?
I am based in Oxford and regularly work across Oxfordshire, London and the surrounding regions. I also travel further afield for larger projects, multi-day events and institutional work where required.

Are you insured and how do you safeguard images?
Yes. I am fully insured for professional photography work. All images are securely backed up using a combination of cloud storage and physical hard drives to ensure files are protected both during and after a shoot.

Booking and availability

How far in advance should I book a photographer?

For large events, conferences or multi-day projects, booking several months in advance is recommended. For most corporate photography and portrait sessions, availability is often possible one to two weeks ahead, though earlier booking provides more flexibility.

Do you require a deposit to secure a booking?

A deposit is usually required for large events, multi-day bookings or projects involving significant preparation or travel. Deposits help secure the date and ensure availability. Full details are confirmed at the time of booking.

How does payment work?

Invoices are issued following delivery of the final images. Payment is typically made by bank transfer, with clear terms agreed in advance.

Do you offer charity or not-for-profit rates?

Yes. Discounted rates are available for charities and not-for-profit organisations. Please get in touch to discuss your project and requirements.

Pricing and travel

How is photography priced?

Photography is usually priced on a half-day or full-day basis, depending on the scope of the work, duration and intended image usage. Clear pricing is provided in advance so there are no surprises.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel within Oxford is usually included. Travel further afield may be charged depending on distance, time and equipment requirements. Any travel costs are always discussed and agreed before the booking is confirmed.

Delivery and usage

When will I receive my images?

A small selection of images can often be provided within 24 hours if needed for press or social media. Final edited images are typically delivered within 3–4 working days, depending on the size of the project.

Is editing included in your rates?

Yes. Standard editing is included and covers colour correction, tonal adjustments and cropping. Additional retouching, such as object removal or detailed retouching, can be provided if required.

Who owns the copyright and how can the images be used?

Clients receive full usage rights to use the images across their communications, marketing and digital platforms. I retain the right to use selected images for my portfolio and self-promotion unless otherwise agreed.

How are final images delivered?

Images are delivered electronically via secure download links, such as Google Drive or WeTransfer. Online galleries can also be provided if required, and alternative delivery methods can be arranged on request.

How long do you keep images on file?

Final edited images are archived indefinitely. RAW files are retained for a minimum of one year, allowing for additional selections or alternative edits if needed later.

Practicalities

What equipment do you use?

I use professional-grade cameras, lenses and lighting suitable for corporate, event and portrait photography. This includes portable lighting and a mobile studio setup when required, allowing me to work efficiently on location.

Do you offer videography?

I do not offer videography directly, but I can recommend trusted colleagues and collaborators if video services are required alongside photography.
